The duration of the egg stage varies depending on environmental conditions and the specific species of Trichogramma, but it typically lasts for about 3 to 5 days. After hatching from the egg, Trichogramma larvae emerge and start to feed on the contents of the host pest's eggs. They consume the developing pest embryos, effectively preventing the pests from maturing. The larval stage typically lasts for about 5 to 10 days. Once the Trichogramma larvae have completed their feeding phase, they enter the pupal stage. During this stage, the larvae undergo metamorphosis inside protective casings. The pupal stage typically lasts for around 5 to 7 days. After the pupal stage, adult Trichogramma wasps emerge. They are fully developed and capable of flight. The adults are sexually mature and ready to mate. The lifespan of adult Trichogramma wasps can vary depending on factors such as temperature, availability of food sources, and environmental conditions. Generally, their lifespan ranges from a few days up to a couple of weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TipTop Agriculture","offers":[{"title":"100000 T. brassicae (Cole\/Cold Crops \u0026 Ornamentals) in Bottle","offer_id":7865379586100,"sku":"","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"100000 T. brassicae (Cole\/Cold Crops \u0026 Ornamentals) on Hanging Card","offer_id":40736360529999,"sku":"","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"100000 T. platneri (Tall Crops) in Bottle","offer_id":40736360562767,"sku":"","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"100000 T. platneri (Tall Crops) on Hanging Card","offer_id":40736360595535,"sku":"","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"100000 T. minutum (Tall Crops) in Bottle","offer_id":40736360628303,"sku":"","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"100000 T. minutum (Tall Crops) on Hanging Card","offer_id":40736360661071,"sku":"","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1972\/9204\/files\/IMG_4478_1800x1350_7cd8d168-5aef-4251-80b5-523005b079aa.jpg?v=1694622616","url":"https:\/\/tiptopag.myshopify.com\/products\/trichogramma","provider":"TipTopAg","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
