Wallpaper Description:

Did you know?
There are over 5,000 species of ladybirds world-wide and more than 500 species which occur here in Australia!

Most Australian ladybirds eat scale insects and aphids – and help control these insect pests in gardens.

The most common ladybird in the Canberra area is probably the spotted ladybird, Harmonia conformis.

The Botanic Gardens in Canberra uses ladybirds to help control insect pests in its glasshouses.

Most Australian ladybirds live under the bark of eucalypt trees and eat scale insects.

Ladybirds can be tiny, some species are only 2mm in diameter.

Not all ladybirds have spots, many species are plain black or brown.

Male ladybirds and usually smaller then females.

Ladybirds taste terrible – they produce a chemical which makes them unpleasant for birds and other predators to eat.

Female ladybirds can produce over 100 eggs over their life.

Some people have used crushed ladybirds to stop toothache – yuk!

Australian ladybirds were the first biological control agents! The vedalia ladybird, Rodolia cardinalis, was sent to the USA in 1888 to control cottony cushion scale insects in citrus orchards.

In Europe in the past ladybirds were thought to be able to predict the weather, if they fell off your hand it would rain, if they flew away it would be fine.
