Abstract :In this study, which was carried out in Aydın Province of Türkiye in 2019, predatory species belonging to the Coccinellidae family on mealybug infested plants in agricultural and non-agricultural areas, are reported and discussed. Ten predator species belonging to the Coccinellidae family were identified from 22 host plant species infested with mealybugs. These predator species are promising candidates for mass rearing for biological control purposes in the future.Keywords : Aydın, Uğur böcekleri, doğal düşmanlar
