Species #19

Scientific Name: Coccinella septempunctata
Common Name: Lady Bug/Lady Beetle
Lady bugs are most commonly known as beneficial insects. Both adults and larvae feed on many different soft bodied insects with aphids (plant lice) being their main food source.
Lady bugs are very valuable to our eco-system because they control pests.
I believe that Lady bugs are domesticated because they can be considered humans best friend by working like a pesticide to kill pests.
