What does a 28 spotted ladybug eat and drink?

The 28-spotted ladybug (Henosepilachna vigintioctomaculata) is a type of ladybird beetle. Ladybirds are known for their voracious appetite for aphids and other small insects, and the 28-spotted ladybug is no exception. They feed primarily on aphids, and can consume hundreds of them in their lifetime. They are also known to eat other insects such as scale insects, mealybugs, thrips, mites, and even other ladybird beetles. In addition to insects, 28-spotted ladybirds will also feed on nectar and pollen. They may occasionally feed on other plant materials such as fruit, leaves, and stems, but this is not their primary source of food.
