Atheta coriaria
All mobile stages of the predatory beetle Atheta coriaria are extremely voracious and efficient predators of some of the most troublesome soil insect pests such as larvae of fungus gnats, shore flies as well as the pupae of thrips. The adults have a large flight range, ensuring a good dispersion throughout a greenhouse.
Atheta coriaria is applicable in several ornamental, vegetable and arboricultural crops and on different media, such as compost, coconut fiber or rock wool.
