Benefits and limitations of factitious prey and artificial diets on life parameters of predatory beetles, bugs, and lacewings: a mini-review
TL;DR: This review was conducted, for the most part, in support of generalist insect predators used, or having the potential to be used, in augmentative biological control of pests on plants in semi-closed systems, such as greenhouses and interiorscapes.

Artificial and factitious foods support the development and reproduction of the predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii.
TL;DR: The different factitious and artificial diets tested in the present study supported the development and reproduction of A. swirskii for a single generation but fitness losses occurred to a varying degree after several generations on E. kuehniella eggs or the artificial diets.

Performance of the predatory mite Amblydromalus limonicus on factitious foods
Dominiek Vangansbeke,Duc Tung Nguyen,Duc Tung Nguyen,Joachim Audenaert,Ruth Verhoeven,Bruno Gobin,Luc Tirry,Patrick De Clercq +7 more
TL;DR: Diet significantly influenced the size of A. limonicus females as measured by the distance between specific setae on the dorsal shield of the idiosoma, and the application of the investigated food sources to sustain a colony of predatory mites upon their release in a greenhouse crop is discussed.

Nutritional value of brine shrimp cysts as a factitious food for Orius laevigatus (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae)
P. De Clercq,Y. Arijs,T. Van Meir,G. Van Stappen,Patrick Sorgeloos,K. Dewettinck,Marjolaine Rey,S. Grenier,Gérard Febvay +8 more
TL;DR: Brine shrimp cysts may be used as a supplement in the mass production of O. laevigatus but may not be a suitable food for long-term culturing of the predator.

Rearing the predatory bug Macrolophus caliginosus on a meat-based diet
Cristina Castañé,Rafael Zapata +1 more
TL;DR: The rearing method proposed in this work constitutes an alternative to the conventional method and represents an improvement in the production of this predator.
