Predatory Gall Midge (unofficial common name), Feltiella acarisuga (Vallot) (Insecta: Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) by Ryan S. Osborne, Norman C. Leppla, Lance S. Osborne

“… The predatory gall midge, Feltiella acarisuga (Vallot), is one of the most effective and widespread natural enemies of spider mites (Tetranychidae) (Gagne 1995). It is a particularly important natural enemy of the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, in a number of cropping systems (Opit et al. 1997). …”
