Tetranychid mites are gaining importance in India as major pests of vegetables and many other economically important crops. Control of these mites using conventional chemical pesticides is becoming a tough job as these creatures are developing pesticide resistance in a short time period. Phytoseiid mites are considered as effective biological control agents against plant mites. The objective of this study was to find out the predatory potential of Amblyseius paraaerialis on Tetranychus macfarlanei and Tetranychus urticae. Consumption of various life stages of T. macfarlanei and T. urticae by A. paraaerialis was observed. The rate of consumption of prey life stages by A. Paraaerialis was in the order Adult
