They lay eggs with a very tough coat to help the eggs survive in the cold. Then the old Greenfly die and the new, hatch out of the eggs in the spring!
But ladybirds feed on greenfly so the ladybirds have to hibernate in cracks of the bark and under dead leaves.
Laying their last generations of eggs for the year or overwntering in the soil is what green flies [Lucilia sericata] do in winter. The exact activity depends upon the life cycle stage. Eggs may be laid on dead and decaying organisms and in garbage or manure. When they emerge from the eggs, the larvae ultimately burrow into the soil in preparation for the pupal or chrysalis stage.
Green flies lay eggs within hours of the death of a living organism. The presence of the different green fly stages allows forensic science to give accurates dates on deaths that occur in the wild.
Green flies survive the winter by trying to find warm shelter. Many of them die but the ones that do survive start to reproduce in the spring.
No greenflys are not spotty like ladybirds
Greenflies, also known as aphids, feed on plant sap by piercing the plant tissue with their needle-like mouthparts. They mainly target the tender young shoots and leaves of plants. In addition to sap, some aphid species also consume proteins from other insects or plant material.
Ladybirds
they are 1/8inches long
Of course! But it would have to have a grassy place to live in, and lots of small incects to eat. ( ladybugs like greenflys best!)
Yes, greenflies have a pair of long antennae that help them sense their environment, locate food, and communicate with other insects. Antennae are important sensory organs for many insects and play a vital role in their survival.
Winter follows autumn.
Winter is called winter because it snows and its cold
Winter is the same word in German, der Winter.
"Hiver" means winter in French
winter = der Winter.
