Before setting off from Chongqing, I had already planned to catch a few more ladybugs after arriving in Qingchuan County.
Today, the weather is really nice, the clouds are calm and the wind is gentle. I asked my cousin to accompany me to the mountains to catch ladybugs. Summer is the season when ladybugs breed in large numbers. Seven-spotted ladybugs can be found on willows, locust trees, and peach trees. There are many peach trees in the mountainous area, so I decided to take a look at the peach trees first. After walking a few steps, a vast peach forest appeared in front of us. I walked closer to the peach tree and took a look, and immediately screamed: "What a beautiful and cute seven-star ladybug!" The scream startled my cousin, who stood beside me and held his hand with his hand. He looked at me with doubtful eyes, as if to say, whats so strange about this? I immediately caught two and played with them, and my cousin also caught two.
The appearance of the seven-spotted ladybug is hemispherical, with a smooth and hairless back. The elytra are orange-red, and there are 7 black spots on the two elytra. I touched the shell of the seven-spotted ladybug. It was like glass, slippery, and red. It was so fun!
The seven-spotted ladybug is a famous natural enemy of pests. It is an expert at catching aphids. People call it "living pesticide". We should protect it. So, after playing for a while, I couldn't put it down and gently put the two seven-star ladybugs back on the peach leaves. My cousin also followed my example and put the two seven-star ladybugs in his hand. On the peach leaves.
The seven-star ladybug has great abilities and can travel around the world carrying stars on its back. It eats all kinds of aphids and flies, so don't hurt it.
