Does carminic acid concentration affect feeding preference of Hyperaspis trifurcata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) for two cochineal prey?

Carminic acid is a substance that probably works as a protection against predation. Its concentration differs between Dactylopius coccus and D. opuntiae. Then, we hypothesized that one specific predator, the coccinellid Hyperaspis trifurcata, would have a feeding preference for the species with lowe...
