    <> "Why Only Seven-Star Ladybugs Are Beneficial Insects."

    There are many ladybugs with "stars", such as two-star, six-star, and seven-star are beneficial insects, but eleven-star ladybugs and twenty-eight-star ladybugs are pests.

    The shell of the Eleven-Star Ladybug is similar to that of the Seven-Star Ladybug, both of which have a red skin dotted with black spots, but each half of its wings has five spots and a spot in the middle of the wings. This eleven-star ladybug is the nemesis of the Solanaceae family, lurking on the surface of the Solanaceae when they are still larvae, feeding on the leaves that take on a basket-like web in the sun.

    Adult ladybugs are more harmful to Solanaceae, they will gnaw the leaves until only the veins remain, causing the whole plant to die, and the fruits of the plants that survive are hard, rough, and bitter in taste, making them inedible.

    Twenty-eight star scoops are also called sour pulp ladybugs, potato ladybugs, and their parasitic plants are generally potatoes and tomatoes, as well as cucumbers, winter melons and other cucurbitaceous vegetables.

    Twenty-eight star ladybugs live together in groups, and a large number of larvae of twenty-eight star ladybugs can be found in some stone crevices and tree holes. They spend the winter in this warm, leeward and sunny place, and come out to nibble on fruits and vegetables in the spring of the following year.

    Like the eleven-star ladybug, the twenty-eight-star ladybug also gnaws on the leaves and fruits to nibble on the side of the plant and eat it away, and the originally sweet and delicious melons and fruits become extremely sour, seriously affecting the quality and yield of vegetables and fruits.

    Everything in nature has a good side and a bad side, and living things restrain each other and restrain each other, and together they form a complete nature. In daily life, when encountering seven-star ladybugs, don't be afraid of Yundong because of their self-preservation behavior, they will not harm humans, and we naturally do not need to hurt them. But when we encounter typical pests such as the eleven-star ladybug and the twenty-eight-star ladybug, we must eliminate them and protect the food we need for daily life.
