  1. I had planned to remove the salad to make space for other veg since the aphids have taken a liking to it. Luckily spotted a ladybeetle roaming around and spotted the eggs. So that pot will be hatchery. #gardening #LadyBeetle

  6. I got a new visitor to my little balcony.

    It's a Spotted Lady Beetle. I've never seen one before and I'm glad to have her around.

  11. @PixelNenzz thanks for commenting and sharing that you even painted a specimen of the same #species. Indeed this #ladybeetle is very photogenic due to its striking #colors.

  16. For the 5th prompt of #PrinterSolstice2526 odd: This is my 8” x 8” lino block print on delicate Japanese washi paper of a seven-spotted lady beetle, or ladybird or lady bug (Coccinella septempunctata) on a pink apple blossom. Like most blossoms it has an odd number of leaves (5) & like some lady beetles, this one obviously has an odd number of spots.

  21. Red lady beetle moving across a blade of grass, photographed at close range to show texture, color, and scale in the surrounding vegetation.

  22. #WellnessWednesday

    Trying to name this ladybug since it showed up again 😊
    Spots → Spotty → Spochy → Pochy → Pochi… which is kind of like a doggy name in Japan 🤔

    Or maybe Dusty, since the close-up photos reveal it’s actually pretty dusty 🤔

    Pretty sure this is the same ladybug that I found about a week ago. Looks like drinking water 🤔
    I think I should name it 🤔

  32. Today, I’ve noticed a ladybug on the corner of the mirror in the gym locker room, I took her home and placed her on the lemon tree that’s wintering in the kitchen. It’s been a couple of hours, she hasn’t moved from the spot. I’m hoping that she’d wake up in the spring and start eating the scale bugs.😘🐞✨

  37. The #22spot #ladybeetle #Psyllobora #vigintiduopunctata (#Cucujiformia) is native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The adults and larvae #feed #mycetophagously on #fungi, specifically on powdery #mildews. When threatened, the beetle shows #thanatosis (plays dead) and secretes a defensive secretion. M. Dillen et al. (2017) studied #multitrophic #interactions between ladybird, mildew, and #oak trees.

  42. And one more unexpected Nature encounter in #Bochum after the birds - a #beetle (sitting on a restaurant menu of all places) which I'm pretty certain is a multicoloured Asian #LadyBeetle (Harmonia axyridis) - albeit a not very common color form which I've only found exactly like this in naturfotos-naeher-hingeschaut.. CORRECTION: this is a spotted willow leaf beetle (Chrysomela vigintipunctata) I now think after discussing this case with two beetle experts!

  47. 🧵 If you listened to my micro-macro-amplifyer you could hear a "roaaarrr!" against #aphids on my rose. In German, #ladybird larvae are called Blattlauslöwen, #aphid lions.

    Because of the warm winter and the terrible dryness, we have myriads of aphids. And because of farmers using more pesticides, we have less #insects and insect eating #birds. So more aphids*. Everything is #interconnected. Read ALT!
