“…Traditional methods are generally complicated and rely on the frequent supply of mite-infested leaf discs (Gotoh et al, 2004;Kishimoto and Adachi, 2008;Perumalsamy et al, 2009). Nevertheless, insect predators sometimes overexploit prey and then die of starvation, cannibalism or for other reasons (Shimoda, 2004).…”

“…Potted komatsuna plants with T. urticae are thus likely to excel T. urticae-infested lima bean plants for rearing S. punctillum. As for Oligota species, Oligota pygmaea (Solier) can ben reared on tea leaf discs infested the red spider mite Oligonychus coffeae (Nietner) (Perumalsamy et al, 2009). However, the frequent collection of (prey-infested) leaves from deciduous tea trees, as well as from other deciduous plant species, may be difficult in autumn and winter (Kishimoto and Adachi, 2008;Mori et al, 2005).…”

“…Staphylinid beetles have a wide prey spectrum and can suppress numerous herbivores occurring in Bt maize fields (Sanvido et al , 2009) including pests. Some staphylinid beetles prey on dipteran larvae, species of the genus Stenus feed on springtails and tiny mites, and other species (e.g., genera Tachyporus and Philonthus ) prey on plant-residing aphids and insect larvae (Rose & Dively, 2007; Perumalsamy et al , 2009). However, some groups are saprophagous, mycophagous (genus Tachyporus ) or algae feeders (genus Carpelimus ).…”

Staphylinid beetles are recommended bioindicators for the pre-market environmental risk assessment of genetically modified (GM) insect protected maize expressing the Cry3Bb1 toxin. Our multiannual study is a unique European analysis of a staphylinid community within a 14 ha maize field. GM maize, its near-isogenic hybrid (with or without insecticide treatment), and two other reference hybrids were each grown in five 0.5 ha plots. The opportunity for exposure to Cry toxin from plant residues ploughed into the soil was shown by the presence of saprophagous dipteran larvae that are common prey of predatory staphylinid species and hosts of the parasitoid species. 2587 individuals belonging to 77 staphylinid species were sampled using pitfall traps. Lesteva longoelytrata (31%), Oxypoda acuminata (12%), Aloconota sulcifrons (8%) and Anotylus rugosus (7%) were the most abundant beetles in the field. Bionomics, food specialization, temperature requirements and size group were assigned for 25 most common species. These traits determine the occurrence of staphylinid beetles in the field, the food sources they could utilize and thus also their likely contact with the Cry3Bb1 toxin. Statistical analysis of activity abundance, Rao indices and multivariate analysis of distribution of particular categories of functional traits in the field showed negligible effects of the experimental treatments, including the GM maize, upon the staphylinid community. Staphylinid beetles represent a considerably diverse part of epigeic field fauna with wide food specialization; these features render them suitable for the assessment of environmental safety of GM insect protected maize. However, the availability of prey and the presence of particular staphylinid species and their abundance are highly variable; this complicates the interpretation of the results.

Mites infestation is one of the main problem in many agricultural commodities. One of the best methods to control mites infestation is biological control using insect predators. The objective of this study is to know the abundance, biology, and predation ability of mites-predatory beetle, Oligota sp. on cassava. Surveys were conducted in cassava plantation around Bogor to know the abundance of Oligota sp. Oligota sp. collected from the field were reared in the laboratory to observe its biology. Experiment to know the predation ability of Oligota sp. was conducted using 3 rd stage larvae, with 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 adult mites as preys. Observations were carried out 3, 6 and 24 hours after treatment. The developmental time of male and female were 15.047 and 16.097 days, respectively. The longevity of male and female were 20.974 and 21.677 days respectively. Female laid 22.923 eggs in 14.154 days. The 3 rd stage larva of Oligota sp. consumed 18 adult mites for 24 hours.
