Cheilomenes
__NOTOC__ ''Cheilomenes'' is a genus of ladybirds (Coccinellidae). Like other members of their subfamily they are large typical ladybirds. They are always shiny and often have bright spots on the elytra. The common African species ''C. lunata'' is an important predator of the citrus aphid, '' Toxoptera'', and wheat aphid, while ''C. vicina'' has been suggested as a biological control agent for the cowpea aphid. Both the larvae and adults are predatory. Freshly emerged larvae consume unhatched eggs, and eventually have a dappled appearance and 6 tubercles on each abdominal segment. Vulnerable stages in the life of ''C. sexmaculata'', including oviposition, hatching, moulting and pupation have been shown to occur after dark, probably as an adaptation to avoid exposure to natural enemies.

Cheilomenes Sexmaculata
''Cheilomenes sexmaculata'' is a species of ladybird. Although sometimes known by the common name of six-spotted zigzag ladybird, this is misleading as there are several colour morphs and some colour morphs of the species can be confused with ''Micraspis discolor'' and ''Chilocorus nigrita''. The species has a wide distribution range within the Asian tropics and subtropical zones from India to Japan and parts of the Australian region. They have been introduced into the Caribbean islands as a biocontrol agent and their spread to South America was noted in 2019. It is well known as a predator of aphids and other small insects. Description This small beetle is about 3 to 4 mm in body length. Body color varies from yellow to canary yellow. Elytra black. Biology It is a voracious predator on several whiteflies and aphids such as ''Aphis gossypii'', '' Myzus persicae'', ''Aphis craccivora'', ''Amrasca'', ''Empoasca'' and '' Leptocentrus''. In addition to them, it feeds on a wide prey ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Toxoptera Citricida
''Toxoptera citricida'' (syn. ''Toxoptera citricidus'') is a species of aphid known by the common names brown citrus aphid, black citrus aphid, and oriental citrus aphid. It is a pest of citrus and vector for the pathogenic plant virus citrus tristeza virus. The aphid spread the virus through citrus groves in Brazil and Venezuela in the 1970s, leading to the near destruction of the citrus industry there. This aphid was first discovered in Florida in 1995. The adult aphid is shiny black and wingless (aptera) or winged (alate or alatoid), and the nymph is dark reddish brown. The aphid feeds on new buds and leaves. The virus is transmitted when the aphid introduces it into the phloem Phloem (, ) is the living tissue in vascular plants that transports the soluble organic compounds made during photosynthesis and known as ''photosynthates'', in particular the sugar sucrose, to the rest of the plant.
