How does Delphibug work
The predatory beetles need sufficient food (whitefly eggs) in order to reproduce. The beetles can play dead by retracting their legs and head. Activity can be confirmed by the presence of yellow excrement on the underside of the leaf Adults and larvae eat large numbers of whitefly eggs and larvae. They bite them open and consume them.
