Evaluation of Predation on Phytophagous Insects by a Phytozoophagous Mirid Bug, Apolygus lucorum

, providing insights into its trophic flexibility as a facultative predator. These findings contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of its ecological role in agricultural ecosystems, but do not support its use as a biological control agent given its predominantly phytophagous nature and documented pest status.
