Prey-consumption rate of I. scutellaris and E. balteatus at different larval instars (a) and daily consumption of aphids by syrphid larvae (b). The bars are means ± SEM, and the different lowercase letters above each bar demonstrate a significant difference within, while an asterisk above a pair of the bars and data points represents a significant difference between two predator species (P < 0.05)
