Vendor: BENEFICIAL INSECTARY
Item #30OIM
Orius insidiosus, also called the minute pirate bug, is an aggressive thrips predator - possibly the most effective. It attacks and kills all mobile stages of thrips, including adult thrips. Orius is a true bug, which means it has a long rostrum (feeding tube). It uses its rostrum to pierce its prey, and drain the contents, killing the pest.
A 'generalist' predator, Orius feeds on many pest species, such as mites, aphids and moth eggs for food. It will control thrips, and helps in the control of the other pest species.
