Anatis mali, (also known as the eye-spotted lady beetle), is a species of lady beetle in the family Coccinellidae.

[1][2][3] It is found in North America.

[2] Anatis mali is a crucial specialized aphid predator in the balsam tree plantation system.

A rotation lasting about ten years for balsam trees to grow as Christmas trees under local temperature conditions, there is significant potential for using Anatis mali in biological management on pre-harvest trees where visual damage maintenance is not essential.

On average, 296 aphids are consumed to complete larval development and pupate of the A.mali.
