In peach orchards of northern Greece Euseius finlandicus Oudemans overwinters in various sites on the trees, usually in groups of 5-15 females. Overwintering females were mostly found in bark crevices near the hibernation cocoons of the peach moth Adoxophyes orana (Fischer von Rosslerstamm), and also in small crevices of the bark and in pedicels left after fruit harvesting. Empty scales of dead diaspidids and dead coccids, cocoons of lacewings and mummies of parasitized aphids sporadically found on trees, were less common overwintering sites for females of the mite. In two successive years, mortality of overwintering females was very low, approximately 4 and 4.5% which could be due to the mild climate of northern Greece and the high cold tolerance of the mite.
在希腊北部的桃园中，芬兰真绥螨（Euseius finlandicus Oudemans）在树上的不同位置越冬，通常以5 - 15只雌螨为一组。越冬雌螨大多发现于桃蛀螟（Adoxophyes orana (Fischer von Rosslerstamm)）越冬茧附近的树皮裂缝中，也见于树皮的小裂缝以及果实采收后留下的果柄处。在树上偶尔发现的死盾蚧空介壳、死粉蚧、草蛉茧和被寄生蚜虫的僵蚜，是该螨雌螨较不常见的越冬场所。连续两年，越冬雌螨的死亡率非常低，约为4%和4.5%，这可能归因于希腊北部温和的气候以及该螨较高的耐寒性。
