Abstract
The ascid mite Lasioseius athiasae Nawar and Nasr considered an important predator related with herbaceous plants, fallen leaves and deciduous fruit tree debris M. incognita. When female predator provisioned T. urticae nymphs, the rm was 0.102 individual/ female per day. Thus, it could be concluded that the highest reproductive rate which observed from the mould mite and the bulb mite compared with feeding on other prey species.
