We studied the response of the predatory mite Amblyseius womersleyi collected in 13 different sites in Japan toward Tetranychus urticae-infested kidney bean leaf volatiles in a Y-tube olfactometer. The predatory mites were collected from eight plant species infested by one of three tetranychid mite species. The predators' responses to the infested-leaf volatiles varied from 33% to 97% among the populations. The predators collected at 10 sites showed a significant preference for infested-leaf volatiles, whereas those collected at three tea plantations did not distinguish between the infested- and uninfested-leaf volatiles. We discussed the possible factors that affected the olfactory response of A. womersleyi towards the infested leaf volatiles.
