Huang, B.H., Wang, B., & Yu, B.Y. 2002 [Bionomics of Chilocorus rubidus.]. Entomological Knowledge 39(2): 126-129.

Notes: C. rubidus takes one year to complete its life cycle. The adult overwinters in habitats including weeds and it is an important natural enemy of Didesmococcus koreanus. C. rubidus mainly occurs in peach and plum trees, and suppresses the population of D. koreanus efficiently. Up to 8 D. koreanus daily are preyed upon by a C. rubidus larva. The functional response of its second instar larvae to D. koreanus fits the Holling II model.
