Scientific Name: Bdellodes lapidaria
Common Name: Pasture snout mite
Pasture snout mites are generalist predators
that are particularly effective in autumn and winter and can prevent pest
outbreaks. They have orange bodies and eight legs of the same colour. They are
about 2 mm long with a very pointed snout (mouthpart). They have life-cycles
that coincide with their prey, earth mites and the lucerne flea. Nymphs are
similar but smaller and have six legs.
