Neoseiulus californicus feeding behavior's:

Neoseiulus californicus is a selective predator of Tetranychid mites, i.e. it prefers to feed on spidermites but can also feed and survive on other prey, including other mites, thrips or pollen. These predatory mites pierce their prey and suck out the contents. When feeding on Spidermites, Neoseiulus californicus shows a preference for immature stages (eggs, larvae and nymphs) as opposed to adults. However, adult females feed on all stages of spidermites whereas the larvae feed mainly on eggs, and the nymphs on eggs, larvae and nymphs.

Neoseiulus californicus is most effective at temperatures between 13 and 32°C (55 and 90°F) and is sensitive to relative humidity below 60%.
