Adalia bipunctata<\/em> is found throughout Europe. Highly voracious, it feeds on numerous aphid species. It is harmless to health, biodiversity and the environment. It can be used in organic farming (AB) and is compatible with the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row
