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