Technical Abstract: Coccinellids are important aphid predators in grain sorghum fields in the southern Great Plains. Efficient sampling methods for coccinellids in grain sorghum would be a useful step toward incorporating coccinellid impact on greenbug populations in the IPM decision-making process. In this study, five sampling methods were used for sampling lady beetles in grain sorghum fields in the Texas High Plains. Removal sampling provided accurate estimates of absolute population for adult coccinellids but not for larvae. Sweepnet sampling was not correlated with absolute population for adults or larvae. Timed counts of coccinellids were correlated with absolute population for adults, but results for larvae were inconclusive. A regression model was developed to convert relative estimates of adult populations obtained by timed counts, to estimates of absolute population. The model accounted for 80% of the variability in the relationship between the relative density estimated by timed counts and absolute density estimated by removal sampling.
