[1] P. vigintimaculata is about 1.75–3.0 mm in length, lives 1-2 years, and has four or five distinctive dark spots on the pronotum in an "M" shape.

[7] For example, P. Vigintimaculata was also involved in an experiment with a group of organisms that are predators of the pests that consume and damage the Jatropha Curcas crop grown in Brazil.

Although it was shown that they don’t include the pests as often in their diet than other organisms, they did prove the importance of predator response in prey density that ultimately decides the survivorship of the J. Curcas crop.

[8] This could help solve problems associated with current control methods like resistance, effect on non-target plants, and worker's safety.

Some important considerations involve insect and mildew density, ability to locate food as well as seasonality of feeding.
