Several mite species from the Phytoseiidae (Acari) have been successfully developed as products for augmentative biological control. Rearing of mites using factitious prey in grain-based systems can increase the efficiency of production of phytoseiids. This has been done successfully for several species but usually for Type III (generalist predator) phytoseiids. Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is a Type II phytoseiid (prefers spider mites) that is currently reared in British Columbia (Canada) on Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) in a plant-based system. Here, we present feeding behaviour and predation data for N. fallacis on T. urticae and three Astigmatid (Acari) mites: Lepidoglyphus destructor (Schrank) (Acari: Glycyphagidae), Aleuroglyphus ovatus (Tropeau) (Acari: Acaridae) and Thyreophagus entomophagus (Laboulbène) (Acari: Acaridae). Our objective is to identify a candidate factitious host for mass rearing of N. fallacis. Although N. fallacis grabbed prey mites of all four species, successful feeding attempts were more frequent for the native host, T. urticae, than for the three Astigmatid species. N. fallacis rejected A. ovatus and T. entomophagus as hosts more often than T. urticae. In predation trials, N. fallacis fed at the highest rate on T. urticae, at an intermediate rate on L. destructor, and at the lowest rates on A. ovatus and T. entomophagus. For the three mites tested, L. destructor is the most promising species for further development as a factitious host for N. fallacis.

重新研究了捕蝇科的生活方式：寻找人为饲养新臭鼬的寄主（阿卡里：捕蝇科）

已经成功地开发了来自Phytoseiidae（Acari）的几种螨虫，作为用于增强生物防治的产品。在基于谷物的系统中使用人为的食饵饲养螨，可以提高植物杀螨剂的生产效率。这已经对几种物种成功完成了，但是通常对于第三类（古籍捕食者）植物性类植物已经做到了。Neoseiulus fallacis（Garman）（Acari：Phytoseiidae）是一种II型植物拟南芥（首选蜘蛛螨），目前在不列颠哥伦比亚（加拿大）的Tetranychus urticae Koch（Acari：Tetranychidae）上以植物为基础饲养。在这里，我们介绍了褐斑猪笼草在荨麻疹和三只象鼻虫（Acari）螨上的喂养行为和捕食数据：Lepidoglyphus析（施兰克）（蜱螨亚纲：食甜螨科），Aleuroglyphus鲹（Tropeau）（蜱螨亚纲：粉螨科）和Thyreophagus entomophagus（拉布尔贝纳）（蜱螨亚纲：粉螨科）。我们的目标是确定一个大规模繁殖法拉第斯猪笼草的候选人为宿主。尽管法拉第斯猪笼草捕获了所有四个物种的猎物螨，但成功的觅食尝试对于本地寄主T. urticae而言比对三个散光的物种更为成功。N. fallacis拒绝A.鲹和T. entomophagus作为主机往往比T.螨。在捕食试验中，N。fallacis馈在上的最高速率T.螨，在在中间速率L.析构函数，在上率最低A.鲹和T. entomophagus。对于测试的三种螨虫，属析构函数是作为人工宿主进一步发展最有前途的品种N. fallacis。
