Lady beetle larvae devouring a soybean aphid. Also on the leaf are skins cast from soybean aphids as they grew, soybean aphid nymphs and adults and possibly a dead aphid or two. Natural predators, like this lady beetle larvae, can help control light to moderate infestations of soybean aphids. (Photo courtesy of Dr. Chris DiFonzo, Michigan State University. )
