  Rearing temperatures are optimal between 20 ± 2 °C, light / dark regime is not relevant for this species. Prey can be Typrophagus putrescentiae or Caloglyphus sp. mites (food mites should be handled with care since they could cause allergies in humans), but nematodes, enchytraeids and collembolans are also suited as prey items. Their source should be recorded. Population development can start with a single female because males develop in unfertilised eggs. Generations are largely overlapping. A female can live at least 100 days and can deposit approximately 100 eggs during its lifetime. A maximum oviposition rate is reached between 10 and 40 days (after becoming adults) and amounts to 2,2 eggs female– 1 day– 1. Developmental time from egg to adult female is approximately 20 days at 20 °C. More than one culture should be maintained and held beforehand. Rearing of Typrophagus putrescentiae: The mites are kept in a glass vessel filled with fine brewers yeast powder which is put in a plastic bucket filled with KNO3-solution in order to avoid escaping. The food mites are placed on top of this powder. Afterwards, they are carefully mixed with the powder (which has to be replaced twice a week) using a spatula. Synchronisation of culture: Specimens that are used in the test should be of similar age (ca. 7 days after reaching the adult stage). At a rearing temperature of 20 °C this is achieved by Transfer females to a clean rearing vessel and add sufficient food Allow for two to three days of egg laying, remove females
