Densities of Pieris rapae and Trichoplusia ni large caterpillars and their post-caterpillar stages were reduced significantly by bird predation. The abundance of large caterpillars was also reduced on plants where spiders were allowed to forage freely.

Plants foraged by bird and/or spiders were also larger than check plants.Item type: Item , Taro Root Aphid(University of Hawaii, 1997-12) Sato, Dwight M.; Hara, Arnold H.Taro root aphid is one of the most destructive pests of non-flooded taro in Hawaii.
