Did you know? "Ladybugs" aren't actually true bugs at all. They're beetles!馃悶 There are more than 5,000 species of these insects, which are also known as ladybird beetles. Most are helpful to humans because they feed on plant pests. Ladybird beetles have chewing mouthparts that are well-suited for munching on their prey such as aphids and mealybugs.

This is the 68th installment of 'Since I've Been Gone'. Taken on the same day as the last post while on my Iowa hitchThis is the 63rd installment of 'Since I've Been Gone'. Taken on 2020 6th October while on my Iowa hitch with @americanconservationexperience, I found another lady beetle on the same day, this one being the spotted pink ladybeetle (Coleomegilla maculata). They are most recognized for being an essential biological control of all sorts of crop pests due to being present wherever there is prey, such as aphids. It am among the many ladybeetles of North America. #animal #animals #wildlife #insect #insects #insectagram #iowawildlife #iowanature #nature #fauna #invertebrate #invertebrates #beetle #beetles #imago #ladybird #ladybirds #ladybirdbeetle #ladybirdbeetles #animalia #arthropod #arthropods #arthropoda #insecta #coleoptera #coccinellidae #coleomegilla #coleomegillamaculata #spottedpinkladybeetle #aceinspires (at Palo, Iowa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWGqbT_Pqis/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is the 246th installment of 'Since I've Been Gone'. Taken on the same day as the last post during my time with @americanconservationexperience, I found another species of lady beetle, but these were convergent lady beetles (Hippodamia convergens). I even managed to find them mating and they had aphids to eat. Great mating spot I will say. #animal #animals #wildlife #insect #insects #insectagram #texaswildlife #texasnature #nature #fauna #txwildlife #invertebrate #invertebrates #beetle #beetles #imago #ladybird #ladybirds #ladybirdbeetle #ladybirdbeetles #animalia #arthropod #arthropods #arthropoda #insecta #coleoptera #coccinellidae #hippodamia #hippodamiaconvergens #convergentladybeetle (at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYNjJe8AwyP/?utm_medium=tumblr

I released #ladybugs aka #ladybirdbeetles into the #aquaponic greenhouses today for some good old #biocontrol but this one didn't last very long. Attacked by a #spider possibly left from the last biocontrol initiative. #umnaquaponics #umnhorticulture #UMN

Critters Have to Eat too... Part 2
This fava bean is infested with aphids and too much work and water use to clean off for eating, but the closer I look, the more fascinated I am with the symbiotic activity taking place: aphids are feasting on the phloem sap of the fava bean plant while lady bird beetles feast on the aphids. Ants are harvesting the honeydew from aphids at the base of the plant while ladybird beetles are laying their eggs on the undersides of the leaves on top. It goes to show that the best food gardens benefit everyone!聽
