Remarks: Adalia (Adalia) decempunctata is a common species that feeds on many types of pests and is mostly found in the Mediterranean region on trees and shrubs ( Rana et al. 2002). This species was noted preying on Monelia aphids on Pecan trees in Palestine ( Wysoki & Izhar 1978) and in Turkey ( Apak & Aksit 2016). During this study, this species was observed on almond and pine trees preying on aphids in the Mediterranean and the Saharo Arabian penetration zones.
