Abstract: The mites in Phytoseiidae are important predatory mite resources, which play an important role in the prevention and control of small sap-sucking pests such as mites, thrips and whiteflies. Resource surveys are important for resource background knowledge, protection and utilization. In August, 2022, a preliminary survey was conducted on the resources of phytoseiid mites on a variety of plants in and around Kunming City, Yunnan Province, and a total of 10 species of 6 genera in the family Phytoseiidae were collected and identified, with the main species being the Euseius, Neoseiulus and Typhlodromus. Euseius vulgaris had a wider distribution on the investigated plants, while more species of phytoseiid mites were distributed on peach trees.
