What to do if there are seven-spotted ladybugs in the house

Ladybugs are very common in our daily lives. There are many different types of ladybugs, distinguished primarily by the star on their backs. Except for the seven-spotted ladybug, other ladybugs are harmful to human life. So people will try every possible way to get rid of them. But after finding a ladybug, you must observe it carefully. If it is a seven-spotted ladybug, you can go easy on it. After all, it is a beneficial insect to humans.

Adult seven-spotted ladybugs usually find a warm and sheltered place to hibernate collectively. They rely on pheromones to communicate with each other and then gather together. When there are one or two of them in the house, they will emit pheromones to notify the rest of the ladybugs to gather there for hibernation. This is a collective self-protection behavior and there is no need to panic. It can be said with certainty that ladybugs will crawl in only if there are gaps or holes leading to the outside in the house.

The seven-spotted ladybird is a predatory insect of the family Coccinellidae in the order Coleoptera. It is a beneficial insect and the adult can prey on pests such as wheat aphids, cotton aphids, locust aphids, peach aphids, scale insects, ticks, etc. It can greatly reduce the damage caused by pests to trees, fruits and various crops. It is called "living pesticide" and is widely distributed throughout my country. In southern North China, it is commonly known as "Sister Hua".
