The way ladybugs kill their victims

Ladybugs are one of the insect species that always play in one of the wild plants or in the local language of Aceh called Bak Reubeek while in scientific language I do not know because it is rarely observed by experts, but customarily the local community is often utilizing its sap to uproot hard meat that grows inside the skin, every animal activity that often makes every wild plant its host certainly has something important from their instincts.

So based on my observation it turns out that every ladybug that inhabits wild plants and made into a host plant must have something that can be utilized by them, it turns out there are always ladybugs where there are other insect species that always eat the leaves of wild plants themselves. So it's no wonder why ladybugs are always there where there are insect species like aphids, and other insects that can be used as food for them.

Other insects become the main food ladybugs

Aphids such as kameeng rayder, small beetles, leaf beetles, and the like are soft foods or become the main food for ladybugs themselves, this situation makes us confused because the size of the body of the ladybugs itself is smaller when compared with some other species of insects that are become a pest for plants. Then how does a small body can prey on a large body?

②

So in this case it becomes one of the tasks of the teams to find the answer to the activity. It turns out that the ladybugs themselves possess extraordinary powers that can defeat their prey even though they are very small. In the body of the ladybugs itself has some deadly weapons namely substances or gases that are very smelly and stinging for their victims, which come from their tiny bodies, the acidic substances are stored at the feet of the ladybugs and when they act they will put it on a road that is often traversed by every victim.

Substances or stinging poison that will kill the victim even though his body is bigger than the ladybugs themselves, the footprints that the ladybugs left behind will be kissed by every insect that often goes through its path, so that when they inhale the scent the odor then automatically other insects will experience loss balance and will automatically experience loss of consciousness.

Then how to execute the victim

As explained above, that when the victim loses balance or can be said to be unconscious, the ladybug itself will take a very beneficial moment by entering the victim's body and then gnawing and eating every contents of the victim's body from the inside.

The ladybug itself will devour the victim's body from the inside like a tiger eating a deer in the wild, also the ladybug will kill every part of the victim's body as a whole and all they leave is the outer body. If we glance at the victim's body is still intact from the outside, but the contents of the inside of the body are empty. Then the victim's empty body will be eaten by birds that pass through it.

But we do not know the phenomena of ladybugs when devouring prey from the body due to lack of tools to see them. However, we can imagine how the ladybug devoured the body of the victim in the body of the insect that was the victim.

Thus a brief description of ladybugs and their activities, may be useful for all of us. Thank you very much.
