Results showed that there were 17 total number of natural enemies, 4 of which were dominant, including Metaphycus ericeri, Microterys sinicus, M. ericeri and Chilocorus rubidus. Through artificial breeding conditions, the damage rates of these natural enemies were found to be 11.0, 35.0, 13.6 and 11.6%, respectively. C. septempunctata and Lexis axyridis [Harmonia axyridis] have been recorded as the most important natural enemies of E. pela.
