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
