@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.

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.

As the 12yo pointed out, not a scientist this week. https://minouette.etsy.com/listing/4444561272

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 🤔 -
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.😘🐞✨

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.

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 https://www.naturfotos-naeher-hingeschaut.de/insekten-gliederfuesser/kaefer/marienkaefer/asiatischer-marienkaefer/. CORRECTION: this is a spotted willow leaf beetle (Chrysomela vigintipunctata) I now think after discussing this case with two beetle experts!

🧵 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!

Asian lady beetles doing some stuff
Saw the hordes on a hike they were all along the side of the path
after learning that they weren't lady bugs and are an invasive species I'm not really sure what to think of them.

Nothing really to offer the hungry #LadyBeetle, I just gave some sugar water on the cotton ball. Maybe I’ll offer some apple core tomorrow. I know they are not that sort of bugs, but I’ve read they eat whatever is available to survive winter sometimes. 💚🐞✨💕
-
Ok, there’s more to it… I confess. I took the larva home in my pocket. The bug is doing fine by the citrus trees wintering in the kitchen.
I disrupted the nature’s intention, but I’m part of nature. I wasn’t sure the larva could survive the upcoming consecutive freezing nights on the exposed boulder. 🥹💕🐞

#Bug question to entomologists:
🐞 How cold can a #ladyBeetle larvae survive?
I just read the wiki about #coccinellid, but couldn’t find the info. I’m just curious, because I saw one on the boulder on the hike today. Thank you. #zone6b

#Harmonine is a defense compound produced by the #Asian #ladybeetle #Harmoniaaxyridis
It is an important factor in beetle #immunity and has #BroadSpectrum #antimicrobial #activity #inhibiting the growth of #mycobacteria and demonstrating #multistage #antimalarial activity
The Asian lady beetle uses harmonine as a general hygiene measure, but switches to an effective defense strategy based on dozens of peptides when threatened -

Anyone know whether this seven-spotted lady beetle has a fungal infection? One of the anterolateral spots on the pronotum is yellowed and seems to be surrounded by lesions. Or is it just ooze from a past victim? #fungus #fungi #disease #LadyBeetle #LadyBug #coccinellidae #beetle #coleoptera #aphids #insect #entomology #nature

A fifteen-spotted lady beetle (Anatis labiculata) on a yellow leaf. These are darker colored ladybugs and their bodies can be nearly entirely black. As mentioned in previous posts, ladybugs and their larva are voracious aphid predators.
