Amblyseius californicus is a generalist predatory mite that primarily attacks spider mites. It also feeds on many other leaf-inhabiting mites, including microscopic species like broad mites, as well as other small insects and pollen. Californicus is tolerant of various temperatures and lower humidity levels but works best under warm to hot conditions.
