Collops granellus
Collops granellus is a species of soft-winged flower beetle in the family Melyridae. Like other members of the genus Collops, it is a predatory beetle associated with flowering plants, where it feeds on small insects and other arthropods. The genus is well-known in agricultural contexts as a beneficial predator in cotton and other crop systems.
Collops marginellus
Collops marginellus is a species of soft-winged flower beetle in the family Melyridae. The genus Collops comprises predatory beetles commonly found on flowers, where they feed on other small insects. These beetles are recognized as beneficial insects in agricultural systems, particularly in cotton production, where they contribute to biological control of pest populations. The species is part of a genus whose members are frequently encountered on flowering plants in arid and semi-arid regions of western North America.
Collops quadrimaculatus
four-spotted collops
Collops quadrimaculatus is a species of soft-winged flower beetle in the family Melyridae, commonly known as the four-spotted collops. It is recognized as a beneficial predator in agricultural systems, particularly in cotton production. The species occurs across Central and North America, with documented populations in Canada (Ontario, Québec), the United States, and Mexico. Adults are active during the growing season and are frequently recorded in field observations.
Collops subtropicus
Collops subtropicus is a species of soft-winged flower beetle in the family Melyridae. The genus Collops comprises small, predatory beetles commonly found on flowers, where they feed on pollen and prey on other small insects. Members of this genus are recognized as beneficial predators in agricultural systems, particularly in cotton and other crops.
Collops vicarius
Collops vicarius is a species of soft-winged flower beetle in the family Melyridae. The genus Collops comprises predatory beetles commonly found on flowers, where they feed on other insects. C. vicarius is part of a group of beneficial predatory insects utilized in biological control programs in agricultural systems, particularly in cotton production. Species in this genus are recognized as important natural enemies of pest insects.
Geocoris black-calli-az
bigeyed bug
Geocoris black-calli-az is a species of bigeyed bug in the family Geocoridae. Members of this genus are predatory insects recognized for their large, conspicuous eyes. The species has been documented in association with agricultural systems where Geocoris species serve as natural enemies of crop pests.

Flower Assassin Bugs
Rhynocoris is a genus of assassin bugs in the family Reduviidae, subfamily Harpactorinae. Species occur across Asia, mainland Europe, Africa, and North America. The genus exhibits subsocial behavior with parental care of egg masses, a trait that has evolved independently only six times in Heteroptera. Multiple species have been investigated as biological control agents for agricultural pests, particularly in cotton and other crop systems.
Trichogramma
Trichogramma wasps, egg parasitoid wasps
Trichogramma is a genus of minute polyphagous wasps that are endoparasitoids of insect eggs. With over 200 species worldwide, it is one of approximately 80 genera in the family Trichogrammatidae. These wasps are among the most extensively studied and widely used biological control agents globally, with more than a thousand published papers on their biology and applications. Trichogramma species have also gained attention in neuroscience research due to their extremely small brain size—fewer than 10,000 neurons—while still exhibiting complex behaviors.
