A Mexican bean beetle larva (Epilachna varivestis)-a devastating pest of snap and soybeans-becomes a meal for the spined soldier bug (Podisus maculiventris) instead. The bug's pheromone, discovered by entomologist Jeffrey Aldrich at Beltsville, MD., may help farmers enlist its help in controlling many pest insects.
