Eradicate aphid provision with ladybug insects

in #animalphotography7 years ago (edited)

Hi everyone.

Leaf aphids can destroy whole plants, and if left untreated, they can also spread around the plant. These pests suck the sap of plants, damage the leaves, stems, and flowers in the process. The sweet liquid they remove when they eat can cause the growth of sooty mushrooms, and some aphids can even spread the virus to the plants when they eat.

One of the natural ways to eradicate aphids is to invite these aphids-eating animals, ladybugs. Ladybug is one of the small animals members of the order Coleoptera. They are easily recognizable because of their small round appearance and colorful backs and on some speckled species.

The majority of ladybugs are carnivores that feed on small plant-sucking animals such as aphids. Adult larvae and ladybugs of the same species usually eat the same foods.

Ladybugs by sucking the bodily fluids of their prey. In his head there is a pair of mandibles to help him hold his prey while eating. He then pierced the body of his prey with a special tube in his mouth to inject digestive enzymes into the body of its prey, then suck the body tissue of its prey which is liquid.

A ladybug is known to spend 1,000 head aphids throughout his life.
