Effects of spraying of some insecticides on adults of a predatory natural enemy, Chlaenius micans (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in the laboratory

Abstract

Among eleven insecticides examined in the laboratory, Cypermethrin, Cartap, Dinotefuran, Pyridalyl, Flubendiamide, Chlorantraniliprole, and BT-insecticide exhibited little harmful influence on the survival of Chlaenius micans adults. In contrast with this, Acephate, Methomyl, Acetamiprid, and Spinosad exhibited clearly harmful influence.
