Abstract
RECENT work by Lees1 and Miller2 has shown that light is an important factor influencing the onset of diapause in the fruit tree red spider (Metatetranychus ulmi Koch = Paratetranychus pilosus C. and F.). In the course of investigations on this mite, which will be published in full detail elsewhere, I have found that the hatching of winter-eggs, too, is influenced by light.
