Sounds like you need more research on your subjects.......
Thanks for the correction.

But, when that bullet passes through your brain, your relatives will know that you were killed by Russian Roulette. There is a direct cause and effect. But not everybody dies.
I hope that got my point across better. Dying from Russian Roulette=getting mites

and by the way I found some FREAKING N CALIFORNICUS PREDATORY MITES IN THE WILDS!!!!!!!!

The Blackberry bush


The area of the bush I thought was the worst


A leaf I thought looked especially infested


Look at those beauties!


Collected the infested leaves, brought them back home, looked at all the bugs under a $13 Radioshack 60x-100x portable microscope.


One of my captured guy/gals on the left side, and 2 pictures of N Californicus I found on the internet.


Here we go! 85° for optimal breeding conditions (afraid 90° might be pushing it).


There are about 10 or so in the jar with a couple mite eggs I found under leaves for food.
CannaGeek Reviewed by CannaGeek on . Anyone know how to find predatory mites in N California-cus? Some of you might be laughing at my pun in my title, but probably not. One of my friends has a spider mite problem because he did a couple things which made him vulnerable to mites. His getting mites is like getting cancer from smoking; one doesn't directly cause the other (as we know atm), but the chances of getting it are enormously higher. His room was hot, dry (because a HUGE fan), and no preventive measures were in place. That is a perfect breeding ground for spider mites by the way... Rating: 5
