What is the difference between the potato ladybird beetle and the 28-spotted ladybird beetle?
The potato ladybird beetle and the eggplant 28-spotted ladybird beetle are very similar in morphology. As soon as the potato sprouts, adults and larvae gather on vigorous plants to feed on the leaves and cause damage, overwintering as adults. Around April, the overwintered adults lay eggs in the field, and they emerge in July. In spring-planted areas, there is 1 generation per year. The larvae and adults of the 28-spotted ladybird beetle damage the leaves of vegetables such as eggplant, potato, tomato and cucumber, causing wilting. The larvae live on the underside of leaves. In warm regions, the adults have 2 to 3 generations per year, overwinter as adults, and generations overlap. After overwintering, the adults gather
