Abstract
The most important predators found with broods of Ips pini (Say) and Ips perroti Sw. belong to the orders Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, and Acarina.Among the Coleoptera, Enoclerus sphegeus Fab. was the most aggressive and responsible for the greatest predation. The small clerid, Thanasimus undulatus Say, was present in the area but rarely encountered. Dipterous predators included Loachea corticis Taylor, Oscinella sp. nr. magnipalpus Beck. and Medeterus modestus Van Duzee. A hemipterous egg predator, Anthocoris musculus Fall. was found occasionally within the main Ips galleries.
