This study investigates the survival rates of pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) and beet armyworms (Spodoptera exigua) after two hours when paired with different life stages of damsel bugs (Nabis sp.). The findings illustrate the predatory impact of damsel bugs on these pest species, revealing significant variations in survival rates based on the life stage interaction. Understanding these dynamics is critical for developing integrated pest management strategies that leverage natural predation to control agricultural pests.
