Tetranychus urticae (common names include red spider mite and two-spotted spider mite) is a species of plant-feeding mite generally considered to be a pest. It is the most widely known member of the family Tetranychidae or spider mites. Its genome was fully sequenced in 2011, and was the first genome sequence from any chelicerate.
Spider mites are members of the family Tetranychidae, which includes about 1,200 species. [1] They are part of the subclass Acari (mites). Spider mites generally live on the undersides of leaves of plants, where they may spin protective silk webs, and can cause damage by puncturing the plant cells to feed. [2]
Tetranychus is a genus of spider mite. Tetranychus is one of the most economically important genera of mites, due to its high potential to destroy agriculture. [ 1 ] It contains 159 described species, the most significant of which is Tetranychus urticae .
Prostigmata are usually 0.1–2 mm long, though some giant red velvet mites can reach 16 mm. They have a range of different body forms and colours. [2] As mites, most of them have eight legs (six in their larval stage).
Adult Banks grass mites range from green to brown in colour and are approximately 1/32 of an inch (~0.79 mm) in length. [1] On either side of the body is a row of brown/reddish-brown spots, the number and position of which can be used to distinguish O. pratensis from the related two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae).
Neoseiulus californicus is used to control the twospotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae), [3] cyclamen mite (Phytonemus pallidus), Oligonychus perseae, Thrips and other small insects. References [ edit ]
The microscopic mite Lorryia formosa (). The mites are not a defined taxon, but is used for two distinct groups of arachnids, the Acariformes and the Parasitiformes.The phylogeny of the Acari has been relatively little studied, but molecular information from ribosomal DNA is being extensively used to understand relationships between groups.
