Orius laevigatus is a predatory bug from family Anthocoridae. This bug eats thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis, Thrips parvispinus) and pollen. Adults can fly and find the prey easily. Once the prey is found, this species bites it and eats its content. O. laevigatus can eat about 20 thrips per day.

  • New: ORIcontrol Cold stands out for its large size, huge voracity and resistance to cold situations, this makes it ideal for winter and spring releases. While ORIcontrol Plus can survive longer in starvation situations and continue laying.
