Lettuce is home to a lot of different insect "pests". I was working on an irrigation demonstration project through the summer and one of our test fields was a lettuce field. I saw a LOT of Coccinella septempunctata (Seven spotted Ladybird) in that field. Saw plenty of other predatory beetles as well (Carabids, Cicindellids, etc).
I wonder how widespread this aphid species is in North America.
