Amblydromalus limonicus (Garman & McGregor) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is a commercially available predator of key pests in protected crops, particularly of thrips and whiteflies. Basic information on the developmental and reproductive performance of the predator as a function of food is largely lacking.
