is effective against the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) and the citrus red mite (Panonychus citri) and is being produced commercially.
It 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 many types of spider mites, as well as on thrips. It can also be reared on pollen, but females then show a reduction in egg-production by 30-40%. In the field it overwinters in the adult stage under fallen leaf litter.
