Coccinella
''Coccinella'' is the most familiar genus of ladybird (or, in North America, ladybug). The elytra of most species are of a red or orange colour, punctuated with black spots or bands. The genus occurs throughout the Northern Hemisphere, but has only 11 species native to North America, with far more in Eurasia. Its name comes from Latin ''coccineus'', referring to the color scarlet (color), scarlet. Adults and larvae are voracious predators of aphids, and some species (e.g. ''Coccinella septempunctata, C. septempunctata'') are used as Biological pest control, biological control agents.

Coccinella Transversalis
''Coccinella transversalis'', commonly known as the transverse ladybird or transverse lady beetle is a species of ladybird beetle found from India across southern and southeastern Asia to Malesia and Australia. It is not to be confused with '' Coccinella transversoguttata'', a widespread species in Europe and North America also known as the transverse ladybird. The alternative vernacular of small transverse ladybird may be used for ''C. transversalis'' in instances where these two species are discussed together. The transverse ladybird was first described by Danish zoologist Johan Christian Fabricius in 1781 as ''Coccinella transversalis'' and still bears its original name. Fabricius' description predated Carl Peter Thunberg's naming of this species as ''C. repanda'' by several months. Description Measuring long and wide, the transverse ladybird shows little variation across its wide range. It has a black head with predominantly bright red or orange elytra boldly marked with a b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Coccinella Septempunctata
''Coccinella septempunctata'', the seven-spot ladybird (or, in North America, seven-spotted ladybug or "C-7"), is the most common ladybird in Europe. Its elytra are of a red colour, but punctuated with three black spots each, with one further spot being spread over the junction of the two, making a total of seven spots, from which the species derives both its common and scientific names (from the Latin ' = "seven" and ' = "spot"). Biology ''C. septempunctata'' has a broad ecological range, generally living where there are aphids for it to eat. and including, amongst other biotopes, meadows, fields, Pontic–Caspian steppe, parkland, gardens, Western European broadleaf forests and mixed forests. Both the adults and the larvae are voracious predators of aphids, and because of this, ''C. septempunctata'' has been repeatedly introduced to North America as a biological control agent to reduce aphid numbers, and is now established in North America. It has been designated the offic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ladybird
Coccinellidae () is a widespread family of small beetles ranging in size from . They are commonly known as ladybugs in North America and ladybirds in Great Britain. Some entomologists prefer the names ladybird beetles or lady beetles as they are not true bugs. Many of the species have conspicuous aposematic colours and patterns, such as red with black spots, that warn potential predators that they are distasteful. The majority of the more than 6,000 described species are generally considered beneficial insects, because many prey on herbivorous hemipterans such as aphids or scale insects, which are agricultural pests. Many coccinellids lay their eggs directly in aphid and scale insect colonies, ensuring their larvae have an immediate food source. However, some species such as the herbivorous Mexican bean beetle are agricultural pests. Etymology The name ''coccinellids'', created by Pierre André Latreille, is derived from the Latin word ''coccineus'' meaning "scarlet". The na ...
