Dream interpretation - bite

If in a dream you bite someone, this speaks of a dream living in the depths of your soul to subjugate a person.

The obsession with this idea is such that you can literally do anything to implement it.

It is not yet known whether you will be able to achieve your goal or not, but already now we can say that, even for good purposes, the enslavement of someone else's will is a bad step that will lead to suffering for both the enslaved and the enslaver.

In a dream, they bite you - in this case, you already run the risk of being completely dependent on the will of another person.

The bites were not too painful and did not even attract special attention to themselves - such a dream suggests that making you turn off the right path is a rather difficult event.

Chances are, you will stay where you are.

If the bites were very annoying to you and caused unbearable pain, all your attempts to weaken someone else's influence will be useless.

So you will have to submit to this state of affairs for some time, waiting for an opportune moment to be freed from captivity (possibly love).

Some kind of passion can push you to recklessness and unnecessary sacrifices, but later, having evaluated the object of your feelings impartially, you will be very disappointed in him and in your behavior.

Interpretation of dreams from

First of all, you need to know that there are varieties among ladybirds. Almost all ladybugs do not bite, but they can pinch, but literally a couple of types of ladybugs can be bitten quite painfully. Consider what kind of species it is and under what conditions even an ordinary red ladybug can bite a person.

Most ladybugs do not bite, but for protection they can pinch with their jaws. caterpillars, aphids, slugs, snails, spider mites and larvae of various insect pests, so they can be called predators. When cold weather sets in, they prepare for hibernation, store nutrients and remove water from the body. It is during this period - at the end of autumn, that they are capable of aggression, like any living creature on the planet, feeling the danger of destruction when it is angry (especially during the period of preparation for hibernation) - the ladybird can pinch a person, but the bite is not dangerous.

Some individuals of ladybugs, for example 28-spotted and Harlequin, are capable of stronger attacks on humans. If ordinary ladybugs do not harm humans, but rather even benefit by eating pests and clearing plants of unnecessary clusters of insects that can destroy them, then these two species, on the contrary, eat plants in gardens, in the forest and cause harm. The 28-spotted ladybug is found in the northern part, and the Harlequin in the Asian. For example, the Harlequin loves shady areas and where there is a lot of greenery, forests, parks, summer cottages. And a ladybug with 28 spots, prefers bright areas: vegetable gardens, summer cottages, farms, private houses. Where vegetables, herbs, fruits, berries are grown.

They eat the leaves of potatoes, cabbage, radishes, carrots, beets, etc., which sometimes causes severe damage to the crop. Northerners know that such a ladybug can bite quite hard, like a midge or even a mosquito. But unlike these flying insects, ladybugs don't feed on blood!

Why is a ladybug bite dangerous for humans?

So, we figured out which ladybugs can bite painfully - 28 spots and Harlequin. Among the rest of the ladybirds, no cases of bites were recorded. Only an imperceptible and even almost imperceptible pinch of the skin is possible, which a person will not even notice.
What to do to avoid a ladybug bite - do not take unfamiliar insects in your arms, but it is better not to touch insects at all.

What is the difference between a 28-spotted ladybug and an ordinary harmless ladybird - spots, they are small and there are a lot of them. Harlequin is a large ladybug with a burning black head with bright white spots, bright orange or pale yellow color is visible on its wings. The main difference is white spots on the head and uneven black large ones along the wings.

Harlequin ladybug - why is her bite dangerous?

Such individuals are "predators", they certainly do not feed on blood, but they are able to reproduce quickly and a lot, settle in convenient places closer to humans and bring a lot of unpleasant troubles. When bitten, it may appear:

  • redness on the skin;
  • swelling;
  • edema;
  • allergic reaction.

Therefore, you should not pick up a ladybug of this species. You can fight them with special sprayers, sticky tape from flies and insects, dichlorvos or the usual "Mashenka". Be sure to treat the floors, walls and corners of the rooms in which these pest cows have met, since closer to winter they will seek shelter and can settle en masse in your shed or private house, and it will be quite difficult to get them out later. Do you need such pests on the site?

In no case should these ladybirds be confused with ordinary harmless ladybirds, which, on the contrary, protect the garden from aphids and other insects.

How to treat the bite site?

The site of the bite should be treated with an antiseptic, a special cream against insect bites, or wiped with a decoction of herbs, such as chamomile or plantain. In case of an allergic reaction, be sure to take an antihistamine so that there are no complications in the form of mucosal edema.

How a man nearly died from a ladybug bite

Reza Rezamand, 31, said he developed sepsis after a ladybug bit him in the leg. The leg was swollen and the toes turned black. The doctors said that there is a 70% chance he will not survive. But they managed to cure him with antibiotics after numerous tests.

"I was very lucky. I will never touch ladybugs again, ”he said.
“I have never been afraid of anything in my life. I can squeeze 180 kg lying down, but I was almost killed by such a small thing as a ladybug.

Such cases practically do not occur, moreover, it is not known whether the bite of a small insect worked this way, or the reason was completely different.

Predators and vegetarians

On our territory, predatory ladybirds predominate, and only three species can be classified as herbivorous. Phytophages prefer alfalfa and sugar beets. In many cultures, the ladybug is worshiped and killing it is prohibited. Adults and larvae are very voracious and are able to destroy aphids, leaf beetles, scale insects and ticks in large quantities, thereby providing invaluable assistance to agriculture in the fight against dangerous pests. The victims of the cows are inactive, so the whole hunt comes down to simple eating. During lunch with aphids, the ladybug is forced to make a zigzag movement, since the aphids are crowded on the leaf. Very rarely, ladybugs attack caterpillars.

Ladybug - description

Outwardly, this insect resembles a small turtle with tiny specks scattered over the shell. But the family is so diverse that when faced with some kind of bug, it is rather difficult to identify a ladybug in it. The bright color of both scarlet and yellow is a kind of warning that they are dangerous. The birds do not risk attacking them, and the taste is not very pleasant. Ladybugs give off a bitter, pungent liquid with an unpleasant odor.

Lifestyle

Representatives of yellow and red ladybirds have the same size up to 12 mm... Any insect of this species has hard elytra. Their main function is to protect the second wing pore during flight. Both red and yellow ladybugs are wonderful flyers. Their wings perform up to 85 strokes per second. Also, in the course of evolution, these little bugs have learned one tricky trick. In case of danger, they pretend to be dead by pressing their paws. Yellow ladybugs live for over a year. Nature measured the same amount of time for her red sister.

Similarities and differences

Most often, you can find seven-point representatives of this species. These cows are predominantly red in color. The yellow one has fourteen such points. Bright yellow ladybugs can be decorated already seventeen points... The place where they live is Europe. Nature gave these insects all kinds of combinations of color and specks, stripes, commas. But insects have yellow color, mainly living in Southeast Asia with nineteen dots.

The question very often arises - are these insects dangerous to humans? No. After talking with the ladybug, you just need to wash your hands thoroughly.

What is the difference between a yellow and a red ladybug? With its color and the number of spots... Otherwise, as representatives of the same species, they have much in common. They destroy the same pests, have a similar lifestyle.

European red and yellow ladybugs begin to breed in May. Their southern counterparts can give life to their offspring several times a year. The process is the same for both species. The female lays down on the lower surface of the leaf up to 1500 eggs... Moreover, food supplies should be located near the masonry. Thus, parents try to secure the future of their offspring. The larvae even surpass their parents in appetite and attack food that exceeds them in size. The development of ladybug larvae takes up to 3 months.



People and insects

Many gardeners dream of having such helpers. But simply catching some insects and releasing them in the garden will probably not work. It is best to use larvae, not adults, for breeding purposes. Many experienced gardeners attract insects. To do this, it is enough to plant a red elderberry on the site. It is most often inhabited by aphids, so beloved by ladybirds, if the proposed housing meets all the needs of insects, and they do not want to leave this place. Food should always be in the required quantity. With its lack, in order to preserve the population, adults will scatter to other territories. The tradition of collecting ladybirds originated in the United States, where they were collected in bags and settled in vegetable gardens.

Warm autumn is a paradise for insects: for example, ticks are still swarming with might and main in the grass, "looking out" for how to finally drink blood from animals or people, hardworking ants and ladybugs, which we used to call suns, are also active. However, these cute insects, red to a black dot, which, according to popular beliefs, bring good luck, are not as innocent as we used to think. For example, for the winter they can, as is happening now in Kiev.

There are about 5200 species in the family of suns: they vary in appearance, and in place of residence, and in what they like to eat, and most of them are predators. There are several types of ladybirds in Ukraine. A common seven-spotted ladybird for us will hibernate in the forest floor and on trees, and if you find a settlement of suns with a little unusual color in your house, you should know that this is most likely an Asian harlequin, which, according to the candidate of biological sciences Zoya Berest, appeared in Ukraine some years ago. It is better to escort such a guest out the door.

The Asian sun (harlequin) is an unwanted guest in the house: it can bite painfully, and its bite causes allergies in some people. Although the Asian sun actively destroys aphids, for which it was brought to Europe and other continents, it eats the larvae and eggs of other ladybirds, which is why it was attributed to the 100 most dangerous insect species. However, his harm is not limited to this. It turned out that it loves to feast on fruit! - says the specialist.

The harlequin also lives in natural parks, but most often it can be found in cities and small towns. According to Zoya Berest, the color of the Asiatic conqueror is very variable: from red without black spots, red with a lot of black spots to black with red spots. A characteristic feature of this species is a transverse fold at the apex of the elytra, there are no such in the seven-spotted ones. Now the spread of harlequins cannot be stopped, biologists say, although they were originally imported to Europe from East Asia and Siberia in order to fight pests, but soon they themselves became such.

Know by sight

Seven-spotted ladybird

What it looks like: the body color below is black, and the elytra can be yellow, red or bright red, each with three black spots and one more common black spot at the scutellum.

Features: it is not dangerous for humans, but these insects are poisonous for most predators: in case of danger, they secrete a yellow secret on the folds of the limbs, which contains a toxic substance.

Harlequin

What it looks like: the body is more domed than that of European cows, always reddish-brown legs and a brown color of the underside of the abdomen. The color is varied: red or orange with or without spots, black with 2 or 4 red spots.

by the way

Cows are not only red, black or yellow. In Australia and New Zealand, there is a species of ladybugs that stands out in a bright blue-green color with a pearlescent tint. Halmus chalybeus is also a predator.
