The ladybug is liked by many insects, despite the fact that it belongs to the insect kingdom.

We invite you to learn more about this interesting “bug” that delights children and adults.

Many gardeners know that ladybugs destroy aphids, but only certain species do this.

In any case, almost all categories of this insect belong to the predatory species. The larvae are distinguished by their amazing gluttony, absorbing aphids, scale insects, sawflies and even mites.

Birds and other insects prefer not to eat ladybugs, as a substance with an unpleasant odor accumulates on their legs.

To attract this cute insect to your site, you will have to completely abandon chemicals - the ladybug is extremely sensitive to pesticides.

To create a habitat, select a small area and do not mow the grass there. If this method of attraction does not work, then you can buy a ladybug.
