The use of this species in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is very common because of its specialization in feeding on aphids and because it is less susceptible to selective pesticides that kill aphids (Cabral et al. 2011). Coccinella undecimpunctata suffers from intraguild predation by the competitor species Harmonia axyridis (Félix &amp; Soares 2004) .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/590187D6FFA3FFA5FF22FE0796AA15AA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Coccinellids are exotherms, depending on external temperature to determine population dynamics (Hodek et al. 2015); for example, climate change reduced the quantity and duration of oviposition of H. quadripunctata (Belyakova et al. 2016) . Populations of this species may be reduced in the future or currently because of climate change. It was found in two areas in the Mediterranean zone.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/590187D6FFA3FFA5FF22FC0F93DE1339	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Although initially thought to include several species, molecular data show that all these populations belong to one species (Marin et al. 2010). It is the most common species collected during the present study from the south of the West Bank, but also penetrates near human populations in the Jordan Valley. This species avoids the arid regions (the Saharo Arabian areas). This species is the most well-known one to local people, especially farmers. Its larvae and pupae were observed in more than 50 localities and was the most common species feeding on aphids on both wild plants and agricultural crops in all localities. In Abu Nujaym 2, adults were noted feeding on their own larvae in the absence of aphid prey. In Alkhas, some ants were observed handling larvae of this species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/590187D6FFA3FFA6FF22FABB977713CE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

When food is plentiful, Hippodamia variegata and Coccinella septempunctata do not compete for aphid prey, and they were often found together feeding on the same aphids on the same weeds.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/590187D6FFA0FFA7FF22F9E3954614AE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species was collected from almond trees infested with aphids in 90% of the localities visited. Intraguild predation between Coccinella septempunctata and Oenopia conglobata was observed on almond trees. Trees were dominated by one species or the other but not both. However, Coccinella consistently preyed on the Oenopia larvae.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/590187D6FFA1FFA7FF22FD14943D11D1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
