Welcome Ladybird

almost 2 years ago

Hello, everyone!

The spring of 2022 is prolonged and cold. In your area, too? However, I have already seen ladybugs; they appeared in late March. I photographed the beetle during a recent walk in the park( last week in April 2022). . We have a long curfew again today. Walking is forbidden.

These bugs are attractive, aren't they? Ladybugs are loved by many, children and adults alike. This beautiful little beetle has a rounded or oval convex body with a flat abdomen.

Many species of ladybugs have beautiful coloring and also have spots. Patterns adorn their front wings. These spots have nothing to do with the age of the ladybugs.

Ladybugs usually live about a year. In favorable conditions, ladybugs live up to two years.

In winter, ladybugs hibernate. With the onset of warmth, they awaken and fly off in search of food. Ladybugs' favorite delicacy is aphids.

After mating, the females lay tiny yellow eggs in piles on the backside of leaves.

Ladybugs, such cute bugs, are predators! Did you know that?

You can "invite" a ladybug into your garden. Do you know how to do it?🤔
The pollen and nectar of flowering plants will serve as a good invitation. 🌸 🌼🌱
