Distribution of the species has been reported in the Palearctic Range to the Mediterranean asin, from the coastal states of Africa, down to South Africa as well as in Asia ( Tenhumberg and Poehling 1995 , Ghorpade 2015 ). Notes The species has been identified as a potential control agent against aphids and promoting pollination ( Anonymous 2004 ). Its larvae feed on aphids and other scale insects ( Rossi et al. 2006 ). Its presence in the study areas was documented as occurring from April to August and it was first documented in the Juniper ecosystem of Ziarat (Fig. 6 ).
