Figure 2.—Gerbera flowers with rays decolorized and malformed by feeding of the broad mite. The cyclamen mite is able to work down into the crown among the dense pubescence on the young leaves, where it feeds on the lower leaf surface, particularly along the veins. Injury usually consists of small bronzed areas along the midrib or of spots between the lateral veins.

Such injury causes the leaves to roll slightly downward and thus affords further protection to the mites as the leaves reach maturity. The injury from both species is similar in nature, but that caused.
