The tiny 0.5mm. clear-white adult female mites lay eggs amongst pest concentrations. They can lay up to 35 eggs. The eggs hatch into super small larvae which develop into nymphal forms before reaching adulthood. These, too, are fierce predators, consuming many immature pests. (Thrips, Broad and Russet Mites. The life-span of these predators is about 10 days in their immature stages, then around 30 days as adults.
