• In some countries, such as New Zealand, it is the primary biological control agent used to control greenhouse whiteflies, particularly on crops such as tomato, a particularly difficult plant for predators to establish on.
• As well as controlling greenhouse whitefly and silverleaf whitefly ( " Bemisia tabaci " ), it feeds on russet mites ( " Aceria anthocoptes " ), predatory mites, aphids and the eggs of moths.
