user posted imageThirteen-pointed ladybug (Hippodamia tredecimpunctata L., 1758). A ladybug with thirteen dots on its body. Beetles and larvae are very voracious. They destroy such dangerous pests as aphids, leafblocks, worms, scabies and mites. They bring enormous benefits to agriculture.
The picture was taken in the Astrakhan region.

"Once, I took a seven-point one and literally poked my nose into a colony of aphids. The beetle first froze properly - and then, without moving away from the cash register, as they say - grabbed the nearest light-green aphid by the ass and began to devour it right alive... "You should have seen her waving her legs as she tried to escape. teapot.gif
