Insects

diventerà una coccinella

Larva di Harmonia axyridis.
In nota potete vedere un piccolo esercito di larve e pupe, non me la sono sentita di ucciderle anche se diventeranno un flagello.

They're so creepy looking, but very beneficial in the garden... Great shots -- -especially the ones in the note!

Nora Caracci replied to Fizgig:

Here in Europe this insect is becoming a pest, mass propagation of this beetle in a number of regions has led to the decline of local ladybird species and other insects. The harlequin ladybird is a significant pest of fruit and wine production...

Many thanks Fizzie, but the shot in the note is interesting but not good, it is a crop with poor definition, in large this problem would be evident :)

It's interesting that it causes a threat to crops whereas here on the American continent it is much appreciated for saving crops from other pest insects.
