Amblyseius californicus preys on mites in the Tetranychidae family, including the two-spotted mite (Tetranychus urticae) and the carmine mite (Tetranychus cinnabarinus). Its total development time at 69.8°F is nearly 10 days, which is reduced to five days at 86°F. These temperatures correspond to the developmental temperatures of their main prey, the two-spotted spider mite. 

The lifecycle of Tetranychus urticae is 16 and 7 days at these temperatures, respectively. Amblyseius californicus is active within the temperature range of 54-95°F.

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.
