Numbers of crapemyrtle aphids were estimated at all locations by visually examining 10 leaves on each of five 30-cm long terminal shoots per tree with shoots selected from around the circumference of the trees as above for YPAC.
In location IV, the expected early season peak during May-Jun 2001 was not observed, but the YPAC peaked in late season below 40 aphids per terminal (Fig.
6) YPAC never reached high numbers but several peaks were detected from mid to late season.
YPAC were low and they should have been high when the trees were visited.
YPAC were found in low numbers and the predators observed were H.
