In this experiment, the feeding efficacy of two different species of lady bird beetle Propylea quattuordecimpunctata and coccinella septempunctata Lin .were checked under laboratory conditions (25±2ºC and 65±5% R.H. Feeding efficacy of coccinella septempunctata were more (16.2) as compared to Propylea quatuordecimpunctata, (9.00) after 16 hours.
