Hosts edit
This genus parasitizes a wide range of hosts, with many members of the Brassicaceae (broccoli, cabbage, kale, etc.) included.
Adults edit
Adults are distinguished from the nymphs by their darker body. They may (alate) or may not exhibit wings.
Parasites edit
Many species of wasps parasitize the juvenile (nymph); injecting their eggs using their ovipositor creating 'mummies' (so called because of their desiccated appearance).
