Regular price $452.40Scientific name: Phytoseiulus persimilis
Common name: Predatory mite
Difference between Spidex Red: different stages of the persimilis are present (eggs, nymphs, adults), has a (non-pest) food source in the bottle, and there is a proof of predation. The persimilis will turn red once they have fed on spider mites in the crop.
Best used: as a curative against the two spotted spider mite.
Works by: feeding on all stages of spider mites, but has a preference for eggs. The predatory mites pierce the eggs and consume the contents. Adult will also attack adult spider mites but the smaller development stages only feed on smaller prey stages. The larvae do not eat.
