• Lady beetles as predators of insects other than Hemiptera (2009, unknown): “Similarly, Obrycki and Orr (1990) found that first instars of three lady beetles introduced to North America (C. septempunctata, H. variegata, and P. quatuordecimpunctata) failed to feed on these eggs, and rapidly died when provided the eggs as their sole diet.”
• The harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis: global perspectives on invasion history and ecology (2016, background): “…has focussed on interactions between H. axyridis and other coccinellids (Pell et al. 2008) but there is a need for further work on other taxonomic groups for example expanding the research on butterflies such as the studies on the monarch butterfly Danaus plexippus (L.) (Koch et al. 2003, 2006a).”
• Functional response of Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) to Aphis gossypii Glover (Homoptera: Aphididae) in the Laboratory (2004, unknown): “axyridis against eggs and larvae of Danaus plexippus (Linnaus) (Koch et al., 2003), Coccinella septempunctata L.”
• The multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis: A review of its biology, uses in biological control, and non-target impacts (2003, background): “Type II functional responses were also documented for adults and larvae preying on eggs and larvae of the monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus (Koch et al., 2003).”
• Suitability of exotic and native lady beetle eggs (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) for development of lady beetle larvae (2004, unknown): “…includes various insect pest species, also has been reported to include non-pest species such as Danaus plexippus (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) larvae (Koch et al., 2003) and natural enemies as observed through instances of intraguild predation on eggs and larvae of the native C. maculata in the…”
• Prospects for Importation Biological Control of the Soybean Aphid: Anticipating Potential Costs and Benefits (2004, background): “Increasing the abundance of this coccinellid beyond current levels could exacerbate current negative inßuences that include possible displacement of native coccinellids (Brown and Miller 1998, Colunga-Garcia andGage 1998,Michaud 2002b) andpredation oneggs of theMonarchbutterßy (Koch et al. 2003).”
• Predation and cannibalism of lady beetle eggs by adult lady beetles (2005, background): “This polyphagous predator can be important as an aphid predator (Fox et al., 2004; Tedders and Schaefer, 1994) or potentially harmful through a variety of ways (Koch, 2003; Koch et al., 2003).”
• Effects on Monarch Butterfly Larvae (Lepidoptera: Danaidae) After Continuous Exposure to Cry1Ab-Expressing Corn During Anthesis (2004, background): “Many causes of egg and larval mortality have been reported including plant mediated physical and chemical factors, weather events, and predation by spiders, ants, coccinellids, lacewing larvae, predaceous bugs, and wasps (Zalucki et al. 2001, Zangerl et al. 2001, Koch et al. 2003).”
• Bad side of a good beetle: the North American experience with Harmonia axyridis (2008, background): “Furthermore, Koch et al. (2003) documented H. axyridis preying on the eggs and larvae of a non-pest lepidopteran, the monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus L.”
• The potential impacts of the arrival of the harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), in Britain (2006, unknown): “Since then, Koch et al. (2003) have already identified H. axyridis as a potential predator of immature stages of themonarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus, an aposematic species that contains defensive chemicals.”
• European buckthorn and Asian soybean aphid as components of an extensive invasional meltdown in North America (2010, background): “Moreover it has become a significant economic and environmental pest in its own right, contaminating wine grapes, entering human dwellings in search of overwintering sites, causing human allergies (Goetz 2008), and negatively impacting non-target insects (Koch et al. 2003; Koch and Galvan 2008).”
• From biological control to invasion: the ladybird Harmonia axyridis as a model species (2008, methodology): “It is somewhat ironic that H. axyridis, being first released as a biocontrol agent, is now widely regarded as an unwanted IAS which itself requires control (Koch et al. 2003; Roy et al. 2006).”
• Effect of temperature on the functional response of Adalia bipunctata to Myzus persicae (2010, background): “Interestingly, third instars and adults of H. axyridis exhibited different types of responses (type II and I, respectively) on the eggs of the monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus (L.) (Koch et al. 2003).”
