Coccinella septempunctata is the generalist, representative predator that is potentially
used as biological control agent in many crop pest management programs. A
comprehensive and critical review of published and formerly unpublished studies was
accomplished to evaluate the effects of insecticides such as imidacloprid,
hexaflumuron, dimethoate, deltamethrin, pyriproxyfen, spinosad, lambda-cyhalothrin,
bifenthrin, acetamiprid, fenazaquin, quinalphos and neemix on C. septempunctata.
Data generated clearly indicates severe effects of used insecticides on its
neurophysiological and behavioral responses indicating loss of co-ordination, paralysis
as well as reduce fecundity, longevity and growth. Further studies are required to focus
mainly on the measure to evaluate their real effects under field conditions
