Cereal aphids have been found infesting wheat plants in Egypt (AWel-Rahman, 2000). Rhopalosiphum padi (L.), and Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch) are the more serious pests on cereal, causing damage to wheat and many other crops (AWel-Rahman, 1997; Abdel-Rahman, 2000; El-Heneidyet. ai., 2006 and AWel-Rahman, et aI., 2006).Coccinella sepfempullctata is considered the most important predator controlling the cereal aphids. Hafez (2003) found that C. septempunctata is an important predator in reducing the aphids infestations.
