摘要：Insecticides are the pesticides that are used to deter pests as they affect their nervous system, respiration,growth and by harming their exoskeletons. Meanwhile, they are affecting the non-target natural enemies suchas ladybirds that are frequently used in IPM as biological control agents. Insecticides were presumed to beineffective for Coccinellids earlier, but research studies have shown that these insecticides severely effectphysiological and behavioural patterns of natural predators leading them to death. A best-selling insecticide,Imidacloprid: a neurotoxin belonging to neonicotinoid affects the behaviour and performance of naturalenemies by effecting their fecundity, egg hatching, developmental time, growth rate, locomotion, survival rateand causing mortality of various Coccinellids including: Hippodamia undecimnotata, Coccinellaseptempunctata, Harmonia axyridis, Coleomegilla maculata, Hippodamia convergens, Serangium japonicum,Hippodamia variegata, Coccinella novemnotata.
