Field Notes

Description:

The Coccinellidae are generally considered useful insects, because many species feed on aphids or scale insects, which are pests in gardens, agricultural fields, orchards, and similar places. Within the colonies of such plant-eating pests, they will lay hundreds of eggs, and when these hatch, the larvae will commence feeding immediately. However, some species do have unwelcome effects; among these, They occur in practically all the major crop-producing regions of temperate and tropical countries.

Habitat:

Seen at a small forest near a river.
