Abstract BACKGROUND Phototactic behavior and oviposition site selection in phytoseiid predators are crucial for understanding their ecological interactions optimizing use agricultural pest management. This study investigated the phototactic responses preferences of seven species proven or potential importance biocontrol: Amblydromalus limonicus (Garman & McGregor), Amblyseius herbicolus (Chant), lentiginosus Denmark Schicha, Neoseiulus barkeri Hughes, cucumeris (Oudemans), womersleyi (Schicha), Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias‐Henriot. We hypothesized that these light as a cue, with aligning respective lifestyles. RESULTS By presenting adults two choices ( i.e. dark) acrylic arenas, we found P. exhibited significant preference light. In contrast, other showed no preference. The were similar between genders all six sexually reproducing tested this study. Furthermore, varied significantly among species. Gravid females As. , N. preferred dark sites egg laying, whereas Ad. preference, oviposition. CONCLUSION highlights an factor influencing suggests adaptations to specific environmental niches. These findings have practical implications enhancing effectiveness phytoseiids Further research should investigate mechanisms driving perception predators. © 2024 Society Chemical Industry.
