Ladybirds and venereal disease - you gotta read this! - Andrewz - 07-10-2008
British scientists stated the fact that about 95% of the British ladybirds from London are sick of venereal diseases! Ladybirds are the insects which are mostly vulnerable to such diseases!
Naughty English scientists...

I can't understand. Why do they need this? It's not their business what these insects are sick of. But, how in the world they found out that? And who could give such an idea to research that?

this is now possible, in the 21st century, due to nano-technologies. It's far from the peak of the scientists' possibilities

I won't be surprised if tomorrow, scientists will be able to tell whether a ladybird is expecting a girl or a boy

Ladybirds are not endangered by this disease. Their life length is about 12 months. STD can't kill it earlier than in one year.
Re: Ladybirds and venereal disease - you gotta read this! - Steven - 08-08-2008
you're right Benn. But maybe it does affect their sexual life behaviour?

At least, the ladybirds won't extinct in the next few decades...
By the way, do you guys know that the spots on the ladybirds' body, is used to differential whether it's a pest or not...
Re: Ladybirds and venereal disease - you gotta read this! - Faw_Peter - 08-12-2008
So, you wanna say that the more spots they have, the more dangerous they are?

What is the point of their existence, any ways?
Re: Ladybirds and venereal disease - you gotta read this! - Steven - 09-16-2008
There is no point of their existence. I really can't understand how they contribute to the natural process, but I do know that each living thing on this planet has its destination.

Yep, and if I not wrong, when the spots are more than five, it will be classified as the pests...
By the way, do you guys know that ladybirds are being used to control aphids in the agricultural corps?

sure, each insect is good in its way, because it kills another insect.

and who kills them?
Re: Ladybirds and venereal disease - you gotta read this! - Steven - 10-17-2008
there are no specific animals/insects that are feeding with ladybirds. But you should know that cats like insects, thus they do eat ladybirds. Plus, bigger insects, such as grasshoppers eat ladybirds as well.
So as you can see it's a natural selection process.
