Neoseiulus californicus (predator) (McGregor, 1954)
is wide-spread in subtropical and temperate parts of Europe, Asia and America and has been used in biological control programs for many years. The predatory mite feeds on different types of spider mites, as well as on thrips. For example, it is effective against the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) and the citrus red mite (Panonychus citri). It is being produced commercially in several countries and can even be reared on pollen. However, the females then show a reduction in egg-production by 30-40%.
The development from egg, through the larval and nymphal stages, to the adult stage depends on the temperature and lasts 5-6 days at 26°C. In the field it overwinters in the adult stage under fallen leaf litter and some strains can survive freezing temperatures.
Synonyms:
Amblyseius californicus
Cydnodromus californicus
Neoseiulus wearnei
Typhlodromus californicus
