Prey discrimination by a generalist coccinellid predator: effect of prey age or parasitism?

1. Patterns of prey discrimination by the generalist predatory coccinellid Coleomegilla maculata lengi Timb. (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) were studied in relation to prey quality, under laboratory conditions.
