Lady Beetles – Do They Bite?
I love a scientist who takes his work seriously.
Recently, I wanted to know something seriously enough to offer my own hand to lady beetles to find definitively if they bite!!
Much to my surprise, they do!
Not only that, they feed on damaged fruit.
Despite their reputation as a beneficial insect, lady beetles CAN be more that just a nuisance underfoot.
