These are the "lady bugs" or "lady birds" or "lady bird beetles," which are among nature's most effective checks to scale and plant lice increase. They are more or less hemispherical in shape, sometimes a liftle more oval in outline, and then usually less convex. In color they are as a rule red or yellow with black spots, or black with red and yellow spots. In a very general way, and subject to many exceptions, those of the first type are feeders on plant lice, while those of the second type feed on scale insects; the smaller, black species are usually scale destroyers. The larvae are rather slender, more or less fusiform in outline, sometimes with lateral processes, often prettily marked with black, blue or orange. In its predatory habits the family is somewhat exceptional among the "Clavicorns," and one of our species departs from the usual habits and is a vegetable feeder. Most of the species are widely distributed, their occurrence being chiefly determined by the presence of the insects upon which they feed. ANISOSTICTA Dup. A. strigata Thunb.
