The effect of different prey densities and prey stages of Tetranychus urticae on feeding capacity and fecundity of Phytoseiulus persimilis adult females was studied on leaf discs of eggplant, Solanum melongena L. (Black Baladi cultivar) during ten days under laboratory consistent conditions of 25 ± 2°C and 65 ± 2% R.H.. The following prey densities were tested: 5, 10, 15 and 20 for the tested stages of prey (eggs, larvae, males and females). It was found that all of the prey tested stages were eaten by P. persimilis females. The total average of devoured prey individuals per predator female during ten days was significantly (P ≤ 0.05) affected by stage and density of the introduced prey. In all cases, number of preys consumed by predator was increased with increasing prey density. P. persimilis consumed more eggs and larvae than males and females of the prey. Total averages of consumed T.
