Abstract
⺠Laricobius osakensis and Laricobius nigrinus are two specialized predators of Adelges tsugae. ⺠Functional and numerical response of adults and larvae of both species was assessed. ⺠Adults functional response was similar for both species. ⺠Numerical response was higher for L. osakensis across densities. ⺠L. osakensis larvae had a higher functional response than L. nigrinus.
