Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants Family   Tetranychidae Sub Family   Description   spider mites Background to Family   Minute mites (length < 1mm) that occur on the undersides of leaves, on stems, and on shoots. They are well known for producing silken webbing, and they feed by piercing cells. Particular genera tend to be associated with either angiosperm (e.g. Bryobia) or gymnosperm hosts (Oligonychus), and with either trees and shrubs (Eotetranychus) or dicot and monocot herbs (Petrobia). Certain species are pests on a wide range of hosts in glasshouses or outside.     No. taxa in DBIF   26 No. interactions   180 % interactions with British data   54% No. records   250 % taxa with British data   69% Notes   Data currently unassessed by a specialist for changes in nomenclature, new species to the British list, new interactions, errors in original sources, and misspellings.; ; Notes on Sources   Most recent source   1986 Below is a list of all sources for this family / sub-family contained within DBIF.
