Abstract
Twenty-eight species of predatory insects and 9 species of spiders were observed feeding on herbivorous insects associated with Mexican tea, Chenopodium ambrosioides L., in north Florida. Mexican tea served as an important alternate feeding site for some predaceous arthropods (i.e. Perillus bioculatus (Fab.), Zelus cervicalis (Stal.), Callida decora (Fab.), Lebia viridis Say, Coleomegilla maculata De Geer) prior to the appearance of pest species in nearby corn fields. Predaceous Pentatomidae, Carabidae, Coccinellidae and spiders were the most abundant predators found on Mexican tea. Forty-three percent of the predator species observed on Mexican tea also were collected in nearby corn fields.
