Root-feeding fungus gnats can be especially damaging to plant seedlings, inhibiting growth and transmitting disease. The fungus gnat predator (Hypoaspis aculeifer), a tiny, brown soil mite, feeds on the harmful fungus gnat’s larvae as well as thrips, springtails, and other soil-borne larvae. The adult predator, with its long legs and finely-haired back, punctures the larvae and feeds on what’s inside. Tiny and hard-to-spot, H. aculeiferr inhabits the top layer of soils and prefers moist conditions.
