Rodolia species regularly feed on aphids and small mites, which makes them good as biological control agents. The most famous species is Rodolia cardinalis, introduced for purposes of biological control in all tropical and subtropical regions of the world and become so cosmopolitan. Other species have been introduced in more restricted areas (Micronesia) always for the biological control of insects.
