(Trichogramma)
Amazing Caterpillar Parasites (Trichogramma species) control over 200
species of Caterpillars, making them the most popular bio-control in the
world. They're so tiny (1/50 of an inch from wingtip to wingtip) you
probably won't even see them. They work by laying their eggs inside
moth or butterfly eggs so that, instead of a new generation of
caterpillars, another parasite generation hatches out and goes on to
repeat the cycle

Aphids
also known as greenfly, blackfly or plant lice, are minute
plant-feeding insects in the superfamily Aphidoidea in the
homopterous division of the order Hemiptera.
About 4,000 species of aphids are known, classified in 10
families; of these, around 250 species are serious pests for
agriculture and forestry as well as an annoyance for
gardeners. They vary in size from 1-10 mm long.
Important natural enemies include the predatory
ladybirds/ladybugs/ladybeetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae),
hoverfly larvae (Diptera: Syrphidae), and lacewings
(Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), and entomopathogenic fungi like
Lecanicillium lecanii and the Entomophthorales.
Aphids are distributed world-wide, but they are most common in
temperate zones. It is possible for aphids to migrate great
distances (mainly through passive dispersal riding on winds)
depending on the weather patterns; for example, the lettuce
aphid spreading from New Zealand to Tasmania.[1]
