2nd year PhD student, interested in ecology and interactions between species (plant-plant and plant-insect interactions). I’m studying factors modulating the establishment and dispersal of insects in the environment.
Any idea of what it could be?
Unusual high larval mortality in our Ophraella communa rearing led us to these mites. Initially we thought they were thrips predators, but finding eggs on a larva makes me wonder: could they be the cause? 🤔

Some picture of my favourite insecte: Ophraella communa (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). A promising agent for the biological control of common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) 🪲🌿
