Very interesting and well-written article! I love ladybirds! The fact that made the biggest impression on me was that the female can hold the sperm for up to 3 months! Amazing!
Well done!

Yeah this is interesting!
Did you know that ant queens hold it for their entire life? They only mate once and found a colony afterwards :)

No! Thank you for the information!
Nature is amazing and when I discover some more of its magic I feel that pure excitement as if I was a little girl!
You seem to know a lot about animals @resorus. Do you also post about them?

Not yet. But I think this would be a good idea :)

Yes, you should give it a try ;)

I love ladybugs.

hwy @flowerpowerart i click a lady bug pic,.. you can saw in my blog .you are goonaa love it.

What a detailed blog about ladybugs!
We have mostly 3 pointed ladybugs here. But sadly the imported asian one with 19 dots is repressing the native one.
I saw a bunch of them as I cut down our fallen apple tree (we had a strong wind here).
I hope the tree won't do any more damage!
