Fungus Gnat, Thrips and Shore Fly Predator
Hypoaspis are
tiny brown mites that dwell in the soil medium. Eggs are laid on the soil
surface. Nymphs and adults feed on fungus gnat larvae, pupating thrips and shore
fly larvae. They are also very useful on the floor area of greenhouses where
they prey on significant numbers on pupating thrips. Moist conditions are
favorable for reproduction. Life cycle ~1 week.
