Average time required to complete each step for all specimens of each species included in study

Species	Lysis	Clearing	Mounting	Handling
P. citri	36.4 ± 0.9 h	72.1 ± 0.2 h	2.63 ± 0.12 min	30.3 ± 0.63 min
Ps. viburni	70.3 ± 0.7 h	95.4 ± 0.1 h	1.21 ± 0.05 min	26.2 ± 0.21 min
R. kondonis	8.5 ± 0.5 h	2.25 ± 0.25 h	2.90 ± 0.23 min	35.1 ± 0.41 min
R. californicus	9.2 ± 0.5 h	2.40 ± 0.11 h	2.88 ± 0.15 min	32.5 ± 0.22 min

Handling time represents physical time researcher spent handling specimens during a 7-d period. P. citri and Ps. viburni time tables represent mean of 10 samples each, presented in Figs. 4 and 5 , respectively.
