Adult males and females exhibit completely different appearances and biology.

Phylogeny of the sexual and asexual lineages based on partial sequences of mitochondria (CO1; a), an intracellular symbiont (rpoB; b), and the nuclear (ITS2; c) genome.
The trees were constructed by the maximum likelihood method using unambiguously aligned nucleotide sites. The trees of rpoB and ITS2 are rooted on each midpoint. The bootstrap values (>50%) obtained from 1000 resamplings are given at the nodes. Sequences of the taxa with the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank accession numbers in brackets were obtained from the database.
