Byrobia Mite

Adult Byrobia Mite (Bryobia spp.), also known as Clover Mite, are slightly smaller than a pinhead with a reddish-grey, pie-shaped body, with red legs and two long forelegs.  Bryobia mite  is a sap-sucking pest of broad leaf crops and pastures, that can seriously damage canola especially where there has been a ‘green bridge’ consisting of clover and a warm start to the growing season.
