Anatis mali, (also known as the eye-spotted lady beetle), is a species of lady beetle in the family Coccinellidae.[1][2][3] It is found in North America.[2] Anatis Mali is a crucial specialized aphid predator in the balsam tree plantation system. A rotation lasting about ten years for balsam trees to grow as Christmas trees under local temperature conditions, there is significant potential for using Anatis Mali in biological management on pre-harvest trees where visual damage maintenance is not essential (Berthiaume et al., 2000).[4]
