dc.description.abstract <p>There is increasing evidence that <em>Aphis glycines</em> Matsumara (Hemiptera: Aphididae) populations are negatively impacted by endemic natural enemies within North America. In Iowa, surveys of natural enemies in soybean, <em>Glycine max</em> (L.) Merr., conducted before the arrival of <em>A. glycines</em> revealed a number of species that may contribute to their mortality. We used several sampling methods to determine the diversity of the natural enemy community in Iowa soybean since the arrival of <em>A. glycines</em>. Natural enemies were collected using field-counts (in situ sampling), destructive counts, sweep-net sampling, and yellow-sticky cards. When predaceous arthropods were combined across all sampling methods, six orders were identified, including nine families and 13 genera. In comparison with a similar study conducted 26 yr ago, we observed fewer native coccinellids with the most abundant being the exotics <em>Harmonia axyridis</em> (Pallas) and <em>Coccinella septempunctata</em> L. (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). Combining all foliar-based sampling methods reveals a community of four aphidophagous taxa that account for >94% of the total captured: <em>Toxomerus</em> spp., <em>H. axyridis</em>, <em>Orius insidiosus</em> (Say), and <em>Chrysoperla</em> spp. In both years, destructive counts collected fewer species with more found using field-counts, sweep-net, and yellow-sticky cards. Sweep-net and yellow-sticky cards collected more agile life-stages and species as expected from sampling methods that rely on the insects’ activity/density to be effective. Our data suggest absolute methods such as destructive and field-counts may underestimate the contribution of mobile predators on<em>A. glycines</em> mortality.</p>
