Nurse Larry Group Grow.

So are all ladybugs beneficial? Seems like some weird colored ladybug/beetle hatched on the five gallon nurse Larry yesterday.

What do you all think? Never seen black with yellow and white spots before. Went out there and they're still around the same spot this morning

I was searching through Google images and I only saw one other like it and no one seemed to be able to identify it either.

Pretty strange.

 

[ston-loc]

Me too. Couldn't find any exact matches. Possibly cause they're babies? I don't know. Going to keep an eye out on them and make sure their not eating any plant. Pretty cool though if they're beneficials. I go and by mantis eggs, waiting for them to hatch and mother nature hatches ladybugs

They usually don't hatch as adults, the hatch as larva that looks like an alligator.View attachment larva.jpg

Love your lady bugs, they would look so good in a black and white scene..lol

 

[ston-loc]

I saw that Rose. Not sure what they are, but in that first pic you can see the empty egg things to the left of them. That branch the close up of them is only about half an inch around. They're tiny!

 

[Rosebud]

My bet is they are beneficials, but I would watch what the are doing and where they are going? What are they doing now, are they still there?

 

[ston-loc]

Still in the same area, cruising up and down the branches, then chilling in groups with their bro's and sis' :stoned:

I'm definitely keeping and eye on them, but I'm thinking benefitials too

 

[Rosebud]

They are so cute I can hardly stand it.

 

[ston-loc]

They wont climb on a finger. Tried a few times now hella baked :watchplant:

Searched for about half an hour. It is a ladybug. Tough to find pictures but here it is.

:stoned: mother nature is amazing

 

[MR1]

Yeah man there are a lot of different ladybugs anyway.

 

[ston-loc]

I've had red w/no dots, red w/dots, green w/dots, and yellow w/dots in the last few months. Never seen a black one before. Google searching seen there are tons of diff kinds, wasnt too worried. Pretty awesome though. Now once the mantis hatch, they'll probably eat them :cry:

 

[MR1]

It was hard to find the ones you have. Mantis have to eat too.

 

[Rosebud]

They would look so cute on my red house. I want some.

 

[meetmrfist2]

looks like a Goth species....:vap-Bong_smoker:

 

[ston-loc]

Most have flew the coop. You can still see one or two if you dig around long enough though

 

[trillions of atoms]
