Here you can see cecidomyies larvas (aphidoletes) eating aphids, they look like Orange maggots.
Each cecidomyies can lay up to 100 eggs on a aphids spots and each larvas can eat up to 100 aphids !
I just spread another 2000 aphidoletes on the soil.

Also, I did a second introduction of phytoseiulus of 2000 adults.
Each adults can eat between 20 to 25 spidermites eggs, 20 to 30 spidermites larvas and 5 spidermites adults per day !

I also put 2 more aphidaxis under the other 2 pumpkin plants.

No more aphids and spidermites on the pumpkin plants.
