| Asian ladybird | | The Asian ladybird (Harmonia axyridis) - this is what the British call it, it’s often a ladybug in America, also known as the Multicolored Asian ladybird or Harlequin ladybird , was brought from Japan to Europe for the purpose of biological pest control at the end of the 20th Century. It has become very widespread.
The body length of the Asian ladybird is from 6 to 8 mm, and its body width is from 5 to 7 mm. The color of the beetles is from a wide spectrum. The wing covers are lig... | | |

It originated in the tropical and subtropical zones and is regarded there as a pest of a variety of crops. | | |

Asian ladybirds are commonly found in populated areas, where they seek out (often in large numbers) apartments and houses to hibernate , and can thus be a pest. | | |

| ...hus isaea. The ichneumon wasps lay their eggs in the larvae of the Chrysanthemum leaf miner. The hatching wasp larvae cause mass deaths of the host larvae by feeding on their insides. Amongst humans, the Chrysanthemum leaf miner ( is regarded as a pest when encountered in greenhouses and plantations, especially en masse as they can cause significant damage and crop yield losses. Pesticides are of little use as leaf-miner flies have developed a resistance to the poison and it only kills more of their natural enemies.

| Earwigs are of great benefit as pest controllers. However, they can also become pests when they eat crops. They are completely harmless to humans. | | |

| The lifestyle of the braconids varies greatly. They represent an important environmental regulator and are suitable for biological pest control. The majority of species lay their eggs in the eggs, larvae or pupae of other insects. Some species of the subfamilies Mesostoinae and Doryctinae are therefore well known for depositing their eggs in plant leaves (they lay their eggs in bile... | | |

| There are 2-3 generations of large white per year, from March until early November. The caterpillars of the 2nd generation can cause severe damage to cabbage crops. The large white is therefore considered a pest. | | |
