Abstract
⺠Female Phytoseiulus persimilis mites were faced with intraguild (IG) predator cues. ⺠Eggs or traces left by the IG predator or their combination were used as cues. ⺠P. persimilis avoided oviposition only in prey patches with the cue combination. ⺠Integration of both cues allowed exact predation risk estimation by IG prey females.
