AI Thread Summary
Spider mites, specifically from the Phytoseiidae family, are problematic for those developing wasps like Muscidifurax raptor and Spalangia cameroni, particularly after the wasps emerge from fly pupae. The discussion focuses on finding methods to control spider mites without harming the wasp predators. Suggestions include exploring treatments that can be applied while the wasps are still in the pupal stage. Additionally, there is a need for effective prevention strategies against spider mites. The conversation highlights the importance of appropriate forum placement for better responses.

hi all i develop two types of wasps:
1)Muscidifurax raptor
2)Spalangia cameroni
and now i have a real problem with Spider Mites(Phytoseiidae).
i see them mostly after 3-5 days after the wasps emerge from the fly pupa.
so there is any possibility to kill the Spider Mites but not to harm the wasps?
maybe to do something when the new wasps are inside the pupa?

also there is any good way to try to avoid from the Spider Mites?


i really need some help here.

thanks.

It seems to me you would be more likely to get an answer if you put the question is a MUCH more appropriate place in the forum. Specifically, instead of burying it in the homework section of "other sciences", put it in BIOLOGY where it likely belongs.
 
well "other sciences" including also Biology.

i not found here specific forum about Biology.

thanks.
 
OH sorry there is a specific forum about Biology here,so i will ask there.

thank you. :)
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
