Macrolophus pygmaeus is a polyphagous bug from family Miridae. It prefers eating white fly, although it can help to control other pests like Tuta absoluta, aphids, Lepidoptera eggs, red spider mite and thrips. An adult can eat more than 30 eggs per day depending on the amount of preys.
It is used in all protected horticultural crops, although this species can damage the fruit in crops like cucumber, courgette and cherry tomato.
