DR. BUGS
SCIENTIFIC NAME
Neoseiulus (Amblyseius)
cucumeris
PREDATOR TYPE COMMENTS
Predatory Mite
(Aboveground)
Adults are 1.25 mm long and pale brown to tan-brown in
color. Only attacks the first instar larvae. Adults consume one
individual per day. Will feed on pollen as an alternative food
source in the absence of prey. Females lay up to 35 eggs during
their 30-day lifespan. Most active at temperatures between 60
and 86° F.
Amblyseius swirskii
Predatory Mite
(Aboveground)
Feeds on the first instar larvae. Can consume 10 individuals
per day. Will feed on pollen as an alternative food source in the
absence of prey. Most active at temperatures between 77 and
83° F. Female adults lay two eggs per day. A relative humidity
>70% will prevent eggs and larvae from desiccating.
Statiolaelaps scimitus
('Hypoaspos miles')
Predatory Mite
(Belowground)
Adults are brown and inhabit the top 1 inch of the growing
medium. Females lay eggs directly in the growing medium.
Nymphs and adults feed on the pupal stages (prepupae
and pupae).
Orius insidiosus
(Insidious Flower Bug)
Predatory Bug
(Aboveground)
Adults are black, 2 to 5 mm in length with distinctly patterned
black and white wings. Nymphs and adults feed on the larvae
and adult life stages of the Western flower thrips. Can consume
about 20 individuals per day. Release two or more adults per
plant in greenhouses.
Dalotia (Atheta) coriaria
Predatory
Rove Beetle
(Aboveground)
Adults are glossy, dark brown, and 3 to 4 mm long. Adults and
larvae reside in the growing medium; feeding on the pupal
stages (prepupae and pupae). Adults can fly and will disperse
within a greenhouse in search of prey. Apply directly to the
surface of the growing medium
Table 1. Scientific name, predator type, and comments associated with commercially available biological control
agents of the Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis.
Neoseiulus cucumeris is a predatory mite
that feeds on Western flower thrips 1st
instar larvae.
flower thrips populations. Biological
control agents must be released before
Western flower thrips populations
establish or reach outbreak proportions.
It is important to understand that the
biological control agents do not feed
on all life stages (larvae, pupae and
adults) of the Western flower thrips. The
commercially available biological control
agents and the Western flower thrips life
stages that are susceptible to predation
are presented in Figure 1.
