Horizontal sections of parasitized Bemisia argentifolii were prepared. Results describe the condition of the host B. argentifolii eyes and wings five-eight days post-parasitization.
*Since the state or disintegration of B. argentifolii eye structures could not always be determined, there is a difference between the sample number (column 2) and the sum of reports (columns 6, 7 and 8) for 2nd and 3rd instar parasitoids.
