Beautiful animal but a bully plant. This is one of them. Large Ladybugs

in life •  7 years ago 

How can you lure the ladybirds into your garden? The local flowering plants provide the source of pollen and its favorite nectar. A patch of wild tares and flat containers of water will also invite them. If possible, do not use chemical pesticides. The dried leaves left on plants or on the ground during the winter will provide a convenient hibernation spot. Do not disturb the insects and eggs you encounter in the garden. Next thing you know, you kill the next generation of ladybugs.

Remember, the presence of some interesting little insects will make your garden pest-free without the use of harmful pesticides. If you keep the ladybirds, he will get your attention. Ladybugs are another example of the wisdom of our Creator, image
Ladybugs Make Problems

One species of ladybird, which was originally used as a pest exterminator, even became a destructive pest. Harlequin ladybugs, also called Asian colorful pistils, live harmoniously with other species of ladybirds in their natural habitat in northeastern Asia. Due to strong interest in aphids and other plant pests, recently he was brought to North America and Europe. Unfortunately, he even threatens the survival of the local ladybirds by eating all their food. To make matters worse, when his favorite food is gone-and there are no natural enemies that control the amount of the hungry beetle begin to devour the local ladybirds and other useful insects. Entomologists view the future with pessimism as they anticipate the extinction of some species of ladybirds. Harlequin ladybugs are also unpopular as they devour ripe fruit ready for harvest and for clustering around houses to avoid winter air.

Some other species of ladybirds devour valuable crops instead of insect pests. But thankfully, most of the ladybugs are still liked by gardeners.

A Year of the Ladybug Life

This charming little beetle is like a dome, round or oval, with a flat stomach. Although greedy, most species of ladybugs are less than a centimeter long. The flying-wing is frail and sheltered behind the elytra, which is a shiny wing cover that gives colorful beetles of its pattern. As the insect flies, it is completely open so it does not block the wing-fly. Although the ladybird is often depicted in red with black spots, some 5,000 species of ladybugs actually have a variety of color combinations and freckles. There are orange or yellow with dark spots. The other is black with red spots. Some are not spotted. There are others that are chipped like chess or striped boards.

Many species of life reach a year. During the winter, the adult ladies are hibernating in a dry, sheltered location. When the weather is hotter, they wake up and fly in search of plants infected with aphids. The female ladybug, after mating, puts a small yellowish egg (visible on the right) on the underside of the leaf near the aphid colony. Each egg hatches into a six-legged larvae that is more like a gluttonous little alligator (left visible) than a mature bugger. Because all the time it eats aphids, the larvae soon become too big for the skin. After changing the skin several times, he attaches himself to a plant and produces a pupal shell. In the cocoon, the larvae continue to grow until it finally comes out as a mature bugger. When his body is still soft and pale, he sticks to the plant until his body hardens. Within a day, a typical pattern emerges.

The enemy gets a lesson to avoid the colorful ladybugs. When threatened, the beetle sprayed a foul-smelling yellow that tasted disgusting from the joints. Predators, like birds or spiders, will never forget their first unpleasant encounter, and the insect's bright colors will always remind them to keep their distance.
