Amblyseius microorientalis is a species of mite belonging to the genus Amblyseius in the family Phytoseiidae.[1]
Distribution
A. microorientalis was described during a survey of Phytoseiidae species in Slovenia.[2] The species is observed to have an exceptionally wide distribution, with specimens also being found in the Ruyuan Yao Autonomous County of China.[3]
Description
The first description of the species concerned a female specimen uncovered in 1971.[4] A male of the species was not described until 2020.[2]
Behavior
Like other members of its family, A. microorientalis is a predatory mite. Keeping with this categorization, the species has been observed feeding on other mite species, particularly the widely distributed Tetranychus urticae.[5]
