Minute Pirate Bug - Free Shipping

A voracious predator, the Minute Pirate Bug (Orius spp.) is a diamond-patterned black & white predator with a distinctive sucking beak and an insatiable appetite. It stuffs its 3 mm length with large amounts of thrips, spider mites, scale (including whitefly), aphids, leafhoppers and the eggs and larval stages of many soft bodied insects such as small caterpillars. 500 pirate bugs (Thripor®) will treat a 1,000 sq. ft. garden or greenhouse. Use 2000-4000 per acre. Alfalfa, sweet clover, vetch and daisies help attract and keep this popular beneficial insect.
