  The predatory midge FELTIELLA ACARISUGA is a good alternative control where large areas need to be treated, as the adult midges fly to find even small colonies of spider mite. The larvae are the predatory stage and look like small pale brown maggots, and pupate in "cotton wool" cocoons under the leaf. Feltiella are supplied as cocoons ready to hatch. Please contact us before ordering this product.
