Abstract
Among the different natural enemies reported, Neuropterans are important, out of which Chrysopid predators are of higher potential due to their higher predatory efficiency and host specific association. Other important Neuropteran predators are the large and cosmopolitan families such as Chrysopidae (green lacewings), Hemerobiidae (brown lacewings), and Coniopterygidae (dusty wings), but notable predators are also found in the smaller families of Raphidioptera, Inocelliidae (snakefies), and Raphidiidae (snakefies).
