General distribution. Palaearctic, in Scandinavia only in Sweden; has erroneously been quoted in America (concern in fact O. vicinus ).
Plant associates. Apple orchard ( Shojai et al. 1996; Ostovan 1998), alfalfa field ( Ostovan 1998; Mirab-Balou et al. 2007, 2008; Abedi et al. 2015), corn, onion ( Ostovan 1998), Mentha longifolia (Lamiaceae) ( Farzaneh et al. 2010b), Fraxinus sp. ( Oleaceae ) (Ostovan et al. 2015); on numerous herbs, schrubs and trees ( Péricart 1972).
Prey records. Panonychus ulmi (Koch, 1836) (Acari: Tetranychidae ) ( Mostaan 1993; Shojai et al. 1996; Modarres Awal 1997), Aphids of pome fruit trees ( Malkeshi et al. 1998), Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae ) ( Khanjani 2005), whiteflies ( Hemiptera : Aleyrodidae ) ( Abd-Rabou & Ghahari 2006), Lixus incanescens Boheman, 1835 ( Coleoptera : Curculionidae ) ( Abedi et al. 2015); aphids, psyllids, jassids, Thysanoptera, Acari , eggs of Heteroptera and Lepidoptera , partly phytophagous ( Péricart 1972), thrips , psyllids, aphids, plant bugs, leafhoppers ( Saulich & Musolin 2009).
Biology. In Poland, O. minutus appears in the first half of April (when apple trees blossom) and oviposition takes place one month later. Two generations per year, the first appears at the end of June, the second at the beginning of August but they overlap (Saulich & Musolin 2009).
