Aphidius coleman targets aphids, in particular the cotton aphid, tobacco aphid and the green peach potato aphidis. Aphidius coleman is an amazing parasitic wasp that stings its aphid victim and lays its egg directly inside the aphid. In a couple of days, the aphid will die, begin to swell up, and as it swells take on a leathery appearance. Inside this leathery aphid mummy a new parasitic wasp is developing and will soon emerge. Once the new parasitic wasp emerges and it is able to fly, it will sting more aphids, lay more eggs, and continue the cycle.
