Aceria malherbae feeds on leaves and stem tips, inducing gall formation and leaf distortion. All life stages of the mite occur within the folded and distorted leaves. Adults are present on the plant from May to November. Aceria malherbae overwinters as an adult or nymph below ground on rhizome buds. Eggs are deposited within the galls. Several generations can be produced each growing season. Heavy mite infestations can result in reduced plant vigor and flower formation.
"$100.00 -- 1 cooler (approximately 15-20 releases) of bindweed mites sent to a partner institution. (If the institution is interested in establishing a site for future collection, please contact the Insectary directly before ordering.)"
