“…The importance of these bugs as the biological control agents has been pointed out by some workers (Massee and Steer 1926, Ishihara 1941, Carayon 1961. For example, Orius insidiosus (Say) which preys on more than 40 species of insects and mites was recognized as an important predator of Tetranychus bimaculatus Harvey (McGregor 1913), T. pacificus McGregor (Michelbacher et al 1952), Paratetranychus pilosus C.-F. (Garman and Jewett 1938, Lord 1949, Johansen and Brekey 1949, Taeniothrips gladioli M.-S. (Richardson 1933), BZ&sus Zeucopterus (Say) (Flint 1918)) Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Ogilvie 1927)) Heliothis obsoleta (Fabricius) (Phillips and Barber 1933, Barber 1936a, b, Hanison 1960, Ei. zea (Boddic) (Bell and Whitecomb 1964), Psallus seriatus Reuter and Alabama argillacea Hiibner (McGregor 1942).…”
