Abstract
Soil predatory mites are natural enemies of several important insect and acarine pests (Navarro-Campos et al., 2012; Saito and Brownbridge, 2016). Among them, members of the family Blattisociidae are considered great biological control agents against phytophagous pests (Zhang and Xie, 2021). Lasioseius japonicus belongs to the family Blattisociidae, with a high potential in controlling insect and mite pests. Yan et al. (2019) collected this mite from a laboratory colony of Athetis lepigone (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) at Shandong Agricultural University. L. japonicus can prey on eggs of Drosophila melanogaster, Sitotroga cerealella, Musca domestica, Bradysia cellarum, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, and larvae of B. cellarum and T. putrescentiae (Li, 2019; Zhang et al., 2020).
