Abstract
 The prostigmaeid Agistemus exsertus and the anthocorid Orius Laevigatus co-exist on many economic plants predating upon the tetranychid, Tetranychus urticae. The present paper shed light on the bioactivity of these two predators when fed on eggs and immatures of this prey. Competitive study revealed that A. exsertus is a potenial competitor to O. laevigatus; being more voracious, higher in its productivity and higher in its survival rate.
