Appearance

The female is pear-shaped with 4 pairs of legs, about 0.6 mm long. The body is usually beige in color, but the color of the mites can vary from bright red to pale yellow depending on the food. Predatory mites that feed on thrips or whiteflies are pale yellow to light brown in color. The legs are long, especially the front pair. Males are somewhat smaller than females up to 0.45 mm long. To achieve a stable result in the control of whiteflies and thrips, we recommend using Amblyseius swirskii in combination with other types of bioagents such as: Hypoaspis miles, Eretmocerus eremicus, Encarsia formosa, Macrolophus pygmaeus, Orius spp
