Pests, Diseases & DisordersHow can predatory mites be distinguished from plant-feeding mites on mango leaves?
Many predatory mites move faster and appear shinier and more pear-shaped than common spider mites, but reliable examination requires magnification. Observe movement and body shape, then seek identification where the distinction affects treatment. Color alone is unreliable. Retaining useful predators matters because a leaf can carry both the pest and organisms already feeding on it.
