ZitatNatural populations of Neoseiulus californicus, are found in Argentina, California, Chile, Florida, Japan, South Africa, Texas, parts of southern Europe, and all along the border of the Mediterranean Sea. Neoseiulus californicus has been found on many crops including avocado, citrus and other fruit trees. They are also found on cassava, corn, grapes, strawberries, and several vegetable crops and ornamental plants. They prefer warm 10-33°C (50-91°F) temperatures, but they can tolerate much colder temperatures for short periods of time. For example, they can survive the winters in north Florida where temperatures can fall below freezing at night. They can tolerate a wide range of humidity (40-80% relative humidity), but prefer humidity at the upper end of this range.
Und das gilt auch blos für die Wildform oder gewachsene Bestände. Die direkt aus der Zucht sind deutlich empfindlicher.
Verschweigen die Verkäufer gerne und ja, Neoseiulus californicus ist der richtige Name.
