    Description

    Orius insidiosis - Minute Pirate Bug –
    Natural Predator that feeds on Adult Thrips
    Can consume as many as 80 pests per day.
    Without pests to eat, Orius will feed on pollen.
    Release Rates: 1 per 10 sq feet
    Multiple releases are recommended because it takes 4-6 weeks to establish a colony.
    Adults are tiny flying insects (3mm). Females can lay up to 3 eggs per day. Nymphs go through 5 instars before adult. All stages are predatory.
    Orius may enter into diapause (hibernation) when day light is less than 12 hours. In most cases Artificial Grow lights will keep the Orius from going into hybernation during the winter months. Florescent lights will work as well.
