Coccinellidae Larva

Coccinellidae Larva

Coccinellidae, known as ladybugs or ladybird beetles is a widespread family of small beetles. Larvae of the family coccinellidae have long, wax filaments protruding from the top and sides. So far, they were found to live in the shrub or bushes well-shaded by tall trees. Heavy rain can wipe them away, some may survive if they are hiding under leaves though. Most coccinellid species are carnivorous predators. In their natural living habitat in the forest, they live in harmony with other insects such as ants, planthoppers, and treehoppers. Here's a Coccinellidae Larva trying to eat a Camponotus parius ant or walking around with the ant in its mouth. According to experts, the first time such unusual behavior has been caught on camera in a forest at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 18/05/2023. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
