I’ve seen a few of these crawling around d the brim of my plants, anyone know what this is? With my luck I doubt it’s anything beneficial, any help is appreciated! Thank you

Phytoseiulus persimilis
At least that’s what it looks like to me.
It’s a 2spot mite predator, it’s beneficial. Now how it ended up where it has is the real question?
Did u release any?
What’s the grow conditions?

They are barely visible to the naked eye. I cannot take a picture without the scope. Some are white some are brown, guessing it’s different stages of their life cycle?

Never released any beneficial insects, grow conditions are always consistent. 80F and 60-65%, watered once a day until slight runoff. Running canna coir. Roots are super white and plants don’t seem to be unhappy. Just a scary situation to say the least

Just use Pyrethrin one week, follow with BT and monitor the situation, I’d say u are ok but the is an outbreak somewhere.

Really appreciate the help! Would BTI (gnatrol) work or does it need to specifically be just the BT strain?
