Entomophagous species of litter (Aleyrodidae)

Abstract

There are several types of spider mites, some of which are specialized to feed on certain crops, and they are a major nuisance in agriculture. Predatory insects and mites, such as golden-eyes, semi-hardwings, cockroaches, and predatory mites, can successfully reduce the number of spider mites. The type of crop and the particular spider mite species have an impact on how successful these predators are. Spider mites are a frequently encountered agricultural pest, and there exist numerous types of spider mites that have adapted to feed on particular crops. In the experiment, various entomological instruments such as MBS-2, MBI-3, electron microscope Telsa-BS-613 from microscopes, and MEMMERT E05273 thermostat were used. In a study conducted in Turkey, 48 entomophagous species of greenhouse cockroaches were identified, of which 17 were found to be the primary species for controlling cockroach populations. A new species, Acletoxenus formosus Loew (Diptera: Drosophilidae), was also identified for the first time in the Turkish fauna.
