Anegleis cardoni, Family: Coccinellidae
Coccinellids, commonly known as ladybird beetles, form an important group of biocontrol agents among insect predators due to their ability to feed on a variety of prey, e.g., aphids, mealy bugs, scale insects, whiteflies, thrips, and many more.
Anegleis cardoni is a medium-sized ladybird beetle, and is known to feed on a variety of aphids, e.g., Brevicoryne brassicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae), Macrosiphum miscanthi (Takahashi), Macrosiphum pisi, as well as Aphis gossypii, Aphis craccivora and Lipaphis erysimi and many other aphids. Futhermore, it has also been reported to prey on whiteflies and scale insects.
Fourth instar larvae of Anegleis cardoni may be considered the most efficient predatory stage in aphid management strategies.
