I fount it interesting Female mites and male mite legs are different.

The hind pair of legs in the female is threadlike, and those of the male are pincer-like. The eggs are laid about the base of the cyclamen plant and in injured areas of the leaves and on strawberries along the midribs of the unfolding leaves. Each female deposits about 90 eggs, of which 80 percent may develop into females. The mites develop through a six-legged larval stage and a dormant nymphal stage with eight legs. All stages of the mite are found on infested plants.
LOt's of web sights say Three to four applications should be made at 10 to 14 day intervals .You will NOY KNOW you have Cyclamen mites until the damge it too severe .
Mite love cool weather around 60 . This is when they do their best work wonder if why you see them in the winter ?Females hybernate out in the cold .
