Neoseiulus cucumeris

[edit]
  • ... that the predatory mite Neoseiulus cucumeris can survive and breed while feeding solely on pollen? Source: "reported that although this predator could survive and reproduce solely on pollen diets (variable results on different pollen), the survival, longevity and fecundity were higher when prey was included in the diet."

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, well-sourced, and has no evidence of plagiarism or close paraphrasing that I spotted. Hook is nice and concise, cited, and caught my attention as a non-science guy. QPQ done, so this should be good to go. Canadian Paul 14:51, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
