Insects in production – an introduction
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 168, Issue 6-7, Page 422-431, July 2020., 2020 Insects have been on the menu of humans for centuries, but only recently their mass production for human food and animal feed started. First, we inventory mass cultured insects and their application. The insect production industry raises many interesting questions about insect biology and fitness.

Optimizing aphid biocontrol with the predator Aphidoletes aphidimyza, based on biology and ecology
Pest Management Science, 2019 AbstractAphidoletes aphidimyza is one of the most important predators used in the augmentative biological control of aphids, key pests of many crops worldwide. Adult females are very efficient in locating aphid infestations over a relatively long range, up to 45 m, and deposit eggs near or within aphid colonies.

Les pucerons des cultures protégées et leurs ennemis en Tunisie [PDF]
Tropicultura, 1993 Aphids in the protected crops and their natural enemy in Tunisia. The importance of damage caused by aphids in protected crops, led us to carry out the inventory of aphids as well as the antagonists and to study the distribution of aphid population of ...

The effect of interaguild predation on avoidance behavior of the aphidophagous midge, Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Dip.: Cecidomyiidae) on its encounter with the predatory bug Orius laevigatus (Het.: Anthocoridae) [PDF]
نامه انجمن حشرهشناسی ایران, 2013 The predatory bug, Orius laevigatus (Fibber), and the predatory midge, Aphidoletes aphidimyza Rondani, belong to an aphidophagous guild, feeding on the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii Glover.

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1663-1674, August 2026.Aphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 803-815, July 2026.ABSTRACT The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and evaluated for their contribution to enhance life parameters of beneficial insects.

Toxic effect of some pesticides on adults and larvae of Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani).
Kyushu Plant Protection Research, 2005 We tested the effects of 40 insecticides, 11 acaricides, and 13 fungicides on adults of Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) by a residual-contact method in test tubes at 24± 1°C in the laboratory. Adults were reared in test tubes treated internally with aqueous dilutions of a pesticide.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 167, Issue 7, Page 584-597, July 2019., 2019 We review studies that used experimental evolution and/or artificial selection to improve native biocontrol agents and evaluated their success. Most studies focused on improving the performance of natural enemies in ecologically relevant environments, such as in the presence of pesticides or at different temperatures.

Feeding Preference and Foraging Behaviour of Eriopis connexa on Two Aphid Species
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 4, Page 444-453, May 2026.ABSTRACT Aphids are phloem‐feeding insects that cause both direct and indirect damage to crops, reducing agricultural productivity. Among the available pest control strategies, biological control using natural enemies is a sustainable and effective approach. The ladybird Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) is a generalist predator known for its voracity and
