The user-friendly address for this website is: /npa/coccinellidae Funding for the LLP has come from the National Science Foundation The Lost Ladybug Project* was developed to search for declining species, and it relies heavily on citizen scientists to spot lady beetles throughout North America. Some species of coccinellids seem to be less abundant than they were previously in North America, including Coccinella novemnotata (ninespotted lady beetle), Coccinella transversoguttata richardsoni (transverse lady beetle), and Adalia bipunctata (twospotted lady beetle). If you find one of these 3 species in South Dakota or neighboring states, please let me know ( WANTED POSTER - PDF). Populations of Hippodamia convergens (convergent lady beetle) have also declined in the northeastern United States. Sometimes, these species in decline are referred to as "Lost Lady Beetles" or "Lost Ladybugs."

Some of the species that feed on plants are considered pests. 2009). Thus, they are important biological control agents of such arthropod pests (Obrycki and Kring 1998). Other species of lady beetles feed on fungi or plants. The Coccinellidae, or lady beetles, are mainly considered beneficial, with about 90% of the species feeding on primarily aphids, scale insects, whiteflies, mealy bugs, and mites (Giorgi et al. Accordingly, a possible set of plants with scalar flowering enabling to guarantee the year-round presence of ladybirds in the urban garden is presented.Research on the Coccinellidae (lady beetles) Adult ladybirds were observed in the garden across the whole season, and abundance was greater in Triticum spp., Brassica spp., Prunus persica and Asclepias syriaca. This included monitoring of presence and abundance of Coccinella septempunctata (the most important native and wild lady beetle species in Italy). In order to assess the presence and preferred hosts of aphidifagous ladybirds within the demonstrative garden, weekly visual samplings in each of the 400 plots were conducted between March and September 2015. The garden hosts more than 350 plant species, including forage, industrial, and horticultural crops, herbs and cereals. The demonstrative garden of the agricultural faculty of Bologna University is located in the urban environment, and consists in about 0.3 ha composed by more than 400 plots. In the urban environment, this becomes exacerbated due to stricter regulations against use of pesticides.
Within agroecosystems, the presence along the year of ladybirds is a crucial factor for aphids biological control. Urban biodiversity, urban ecology, green infrastructure, urban agriculture, pest management, biological control, Coccinella septempunctata
