The beetles we find most often are Coccinellidae.
It seems they are everywhere. But the most amazing thing is that they are real farmers. And very fond of herding herds of aphids and sucking the sweet juice that it secrete. And only ants do not like this competition. After all, they also plant aphids.

What beautiful beautiful pictures I do enjoy your photography!🏆

Such fabulous shots of them there scientific name which I didn't know till reading this sounds so much more aggressive than what most of us call them the lady bug

Beautiful photos

wonderful and beautiful captures :) beetles moves a lot too.

Nice post. I thought they just ate aphids and only the ants farm them? That would make sense when you consider ants are social creatures.

A beautiful set of photos.
