Harmonia axyridis, like other ladybeetles or ladybirds, uses isopropyl methoxy pyrazine as a defensive chemical to deter predation, and also carries this chemical in its hemolymph at much higher concentrations than many other ladybeetle species, along with species-/genus-specific defensive compounds such as harmonine.
Harmonia axyridis (Pallas, 1771) – Asian lady beetle, originally from Nepal, China, Taiwan, Japan, introduced to Western Europe and America; Harmonia antipodum (Mulsant, 1848) – antipodean ladybird, endemic to New Zealand; Harmonia basinotata Bielawski, 1964 – New Guinea; Harmonia bicolor (Blackburn, 1892) – Australia
The widespread and invasive Harmonia axyridis. Coccinellidae are found on every continent except Antarctica. [74] Asian and African species are less studied than others. [75] Coccinellids can be found in a variety of habitats, both on the ground and in the trees. They may specialise using certain plants.
The genus contains at least twelve species, [1] including the type species, the Green Beetle Hanger (Hesperomyces virescens). [2] H. virescens is a complex of species . [ 3 ] It is an ectoparasite of an invasive species to Europe and the Americas, [ 4 ] the harlequin ladybird ( Harmonia axyridis ). [ 5 ]
The Laboulbeniales is an order of fungi within the class Laboulbeniomycetes.They are also known by the colloquial name beetle hangers [1] or labouls.The order includes around 2,325 species [2] of obligate insect ectoparasites that produce cellular thalli from two-celled ascospores.
Family Coccinellidae Latreille, 1807 (ladybirds or lady beetles) Asian multicolored lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis; Family Corylophidae LeConte, 1852; Family Akalyptoischiidae Lord, Hartley, Lawrence, McHugh, Whiting and Miller, 2010; Family Latridiidae Erichson, 1842; Superfamily Tenebrionoidea Latreille, 1802 Tenebrionoidea - Tenebrio molitor
Parasitylenchus bifurcatus parasitizes Harmonia axyridis, a beetle introduced to Europe from central and South Asia. [7] H. axyridis affects agricultural crops such as apples, pears, and grapes resulting in reduced quality of products made from these crops. [7] [8] Both male and female H. axyridis can be infected by P. bifurcatus. [7]
When provided with Harmonia axyridis larvae as part of their diet in the first or third instar stage of development, it has been shown that Olla v-nigrum larvae were incapable of surviving to the adult stage. In the first instar, Olla v-nigrum larvae were shown to have a 100% mortality rate when fed exotic H. axyridis eggs.
