Live insects from Tip Top Bio Are Expedited To Ensure Your Insects Arrive Quickly & Safely.
Cucumeris is a species of predatory mite that feeds on immature stages of thrips. It also feeds on pollen, two spotted mites and other species of mites. Cucumeris adults are pear-shaped, tan colored mites, less than 0.5mm (1/50 inch) long. When these pests aren't around A. cucumeris survive by eating pollen.
About 60% are female. Well-fed females will lay up to 3 eggs per day for 35 days. Their eggs are tiny .01 round, transparent and usually deposited on the bottom of leaves. Cucumeris are shipped as adults, immatures and eggs.

The bottles works best if a Thrip infestation already exists. To release: open the lid and shake the contents onto leaves or at the base of plant stems. Upon receipt allow A.cucumeris to warm to room temperatures. Predatory mites should be seen on the underside of the lids. Works best if a Thrip Infestation does not already exist or the infestation is light. Great Preventative care.
Slow release hanging sachets are a great option for preventative maintenance to guard against Mites or Thrips. Simply hang every 4 weeks and these hatching bags will breed your own natural enemies.
