‘Ladybird On A Leaf’ “Their ovoid domed forms, bright colours and contrasting patterns have made the Ladybird Beetles a favourite character in countless childrens’ books. These attributes also makes them wonderful macro subjects. I got this image on one of our outings at the Maharashtra nature Park ( MNP ) Mumbai. Colloquially called Ladybirds, these insects are small beetles in the Family Coccinellidae and are found all over the world. They are generally considered to be useful insects as so many of them are predators of a variety of garden and agricultural pests. Thus some species are used as biological control agents. However, there are others, which are known to be pests and can create major damages to crops if their numbers go out of control.
