Ladybird beetles Adalia bipunctata l. interaction with legume bean Phaseolus species is dependent on life needs
Two-spots ladybird beetle (Adalia bipunctata) needs support from the plants species of legumes family common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and lima bean (P. lunatus) for completing their life circle. This interaction serves the need in terms of food, shelter, host-plant suitability and mutualism. This...

| description | Two-spots ladybird beetle (Adalia bipunctata) needs support from the plants species of legumes family common bean
(Phaseolus vulgaris) and lima bean (P. lunatus) for completing their life circle. This interaction serves the need in terms of
food, shelter, host-plant suitability and mutualism. This study investigated the interaction and different behavioural activity
between the domestic ladybird and global plant species. Ladybird interacted with both bean species and showed intensive
activity on the plants studied. Dualistic eating habits and their behavioral activity with Phaseolus species plants are new
finding in this study. Results exhibited that, selected plant species are extremely important for Adalia bipunctata in context of
their local ecosystems. It is suggested that interaction between domestic ladybird and global bean plants is extremely important
for both types of organisms in the context of their local ecosystems. |
