Aphelinus certus is a parasitoid wasp native to Asia.[1] It parasitizes the soybean aphid and other aphids.[2]
North American introduction
A. certus has been found in North America since 2005, and was likely introduced along with or soon after the soybean aphid.[3]
A. certus is likely to parasitize both native and introduced aphids in North America as it has a relatively wide host-range.[2]
