Aculops
''Aculops'' is a genus of mites that belongs to the family Eriophyidae that live as plant parasites. Some species, such as ''Aculops lycopersici'', are severe crop or ornamental pests, while ''Aculops ailanthii'' is being considered as biocontrol for the extremely invasive tree-of-heaven in North America. Very little is known about this genus, with new species constantly being discovered even in well covered regions such as New Zealand.

Aculops Fuchsiae
''Aculops fuchsiae'', commonly known as fuchsia gall mite, is a species of mite in the family Eriophyidae. It feeds on ''Fuchsia'' plants, causing distortion of growing shoots and flowers. It is regarded as a horticultural pest. Description ''Aculops fuchsiae'' is too small to be seen with the naked eye; female adult mites are between long and wide, with males slightly smaller. It is white or pale yellow in colour and has a wormlike or spindle-like body shape, with two anterior (front) pairs of legs. Biology ''Aculops fuchsiae'' is host specific and the only eriophyid mite known to attack ''Fuchsia''. It feeds on the shoot tips, where it sucks sap. It produces chemicals that interfere with the plant's normal growth, which instead becomes a distorted mass of reddish-pink or yellowish green tissue. There are several generations between late spring and autumn; the life cycle takes about 21 days at 18°C. There are four life stages: egg, larva, nymph and adult. Eggs take between 4 ...

Aculops Rhois
''Aculops rhois'', the poison ivy gall mite, is a species of Eriophyid mite found in North America. They form galls in poison ivy as well as other members of North American '' Toxicodendron'' and some species of ''Rhus'' (including fragrant sumac). Identification Poison ivy gall mites form small red pouch galls on the upper surface of the leaves of their host. The mites themselves are extremely small and are usually found in the interior of the pouch (on the underside). The bright coloration they create in their host plant, however, makes this species fairly conspicuous and easy to detect compared to other members of ''Aculops'' (such as ''Aculops ailanthii ''Aculops ailanthii'', the Ailanthus leafcurl mite, is a species of eriophyid mite that infects trees-of-heaven ('' Ailanthus altissima'').

Aculops Tetanothrix
''Aculops tetanothrix'', also known as the willow gall mite, is a species of mite that belongs to the family Eriophydae. The mite is yellow, with brown or sometimes orange. ''Aculops tetanothrix'' creates galls on '' Salix'' (willow) species. The galls initially are green, and later turn red.

Eriophyidae
Eriophyidae is a family of more than 200 genera of mites, which live as plant parasites, commonly causing galls or other damage to the plant tissues and hence known as gall mites. About 3,600 species have been described, but this is probably less than 10% of the actual number existing in this poorly researched family. They are microscopic mites and are yellow to pinkish white to purplish in color. The mites are worm like, and have only two pairs of legs. Their primary method of population spread is by wind. They affect a wide range of plants, and several are major pest species causing substantial economic damage to crops. Some species, however, are used as biological agents to control weeds and invasive plant species. Notable species Notable species in this family include: *''Abacarus hystrix'', the cereal rust mite *'' Abacarus sacchari'', the sugarcane rust mite *'' Acalitus essigi'', the redberry mite, which affects blackberries *''Aceria chondrillae'', the chondrilla gall ...

Aculops Lycopersici
''Aculops lycopersici'', also known as the tomato russet mite, is a species of mite that belongs to the family Eriophyidae. ''Aculops lycopersici'' is an important pest of tomato plants. It was first described by A. M. Massee in 1937 in Australia, but is now common around the world. Its genome In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is all the genetic information of an organism. It consists of nucleotide sequences of DNA (or RNA in RNA viruses). The nuclear genome includes protein-coding genes and non-coding ge ... has been sequenced and is only 32.5 Mb.

Aculops Ailanthii
''Aculops ailanthii'', the Ailanthus leafcurl mite, is a species of eriophyid mite that infects trees-of-heaven ('' Ailanthus altissima''). Very little is known about this species. ''A. ailanthii'' has been proposed as a potential biocontrol alongside ailanthus webworms and mimosa wilt ('' Fusarium oxysporum'') in North America, where ''Ailanthus'' is a severe invasive. Identification Infections by this species can be found by the changes it makes to the leaves of ''A. altissima''. Compared to healthy leaves, leaves infected by ''A. ailanthii'' have somewhat undercurled, wrinkled and somewhat glossier. This can be difficult to detect compared to the conspicuous galls made by many other members of Eriophyidae Eriophyidae is a family of more than 200 genera of mites, which live as plant parasites, commonly causing galls or other damage to the plant tissues and hence known as gall mites.

Tree-of-heaven
''Ailanthus altissima'' , commonly known as tree of heaven, ailanthus, varnish tree, or in Chinese as ''chouchun'' (), is a deciduous tree in the family Simaroubaceae. It is native to northeast and central China, and Taiwan. Unlike other members of the genus ''Ailanthus'', it is found in temperate climates rather than the tropics. The tree grows rapidly, and is capable of reaching heights of in 25 years. While the species rarely lives more than 50 years, some specimens exceed 100 years of age. Its suckering ability allows this tree to clone itself indefinitely. It is considered a noxious weed and vigorous invasive species, and one of the worst invasive plant species in Europe and North America. In 21st-century North America, the invasiveness of the species has been compounded by its harboring of the also destructive and invasive spotted lanternfly.

Salix Lasiolepis
''Salix lasiolepis'' (arroyo willow) is a species of willow native to western North America. Distribution The core range of the arroyo willow includes most of California, including the California Coast Ranges, Arizona, Klamath Mountains, Peninsular Ranges, Sierra Nevada, and Transverse Ranges. It extends north into Washington, south into Baja California, and east into Idaho, Utah, Texas, and Coahuila (México). Habitat The plant is commonly found growing in riparian zones in canyons and valleys, along pond shores, and in marshes and wetlands. It is found in many plant communities, including: chaparral, oak woodland, mixed evergreen forest, coast redwood forest, yellow pine forest, red fir forest, lodgepole pine forest, and grasslands. Allergenicity Arroyo Willow (Salix lasiolepis) is a severe allergen. Pollination Occurs in following seasons depending on latitude and elevation: Spring.
