Hey guys,
I've got a Sc. subspinipes subspinipes that's had a slight mite problem for a little while, and decided that I'd go ahead and order a batch of the Hypoaspis mites to help me get rid of the unwanted critters, and I went ahead and added some to my other cages to act as a preventative measure.
Here's my question though. I watched a few videos on youtube that had a few clips of pedes with hypoaspis mites running about eating the pest mites. The video actually showed the mites very, very good. They were a lot bigger then I was thinking. Now, I've had my Hypos since yesterday and have yet to see a single one.
I was thinking about emailing Biocontrol and asking them about it, but thought I'd ask here first. Should I be worried, and does it sound like they arrived dead?
Thanks much guys.
