Aliens, Ladybugs, and the Lethal Virus
Extraterrestrials from the planet Infinite in the Andromeda Galaxy land their spaceship near the home of the Bopper family: five ladybugs in Missionville, Texas. The extraterrestrials recruit the ladybugs to be part of their mission to save children dying from a virus in the town of Hopeville, Texas. Through their own trained robots, the aliens equip the ladybugs with a microchip containing the virus’s cure to be transported to the children’s hospital. Though humans are puzzled by the aliens’ advanced technology and visionary gifts, they join forces with robots, and the ladybugs battle evil and danger with optimism and hope.

Ecology and Behaviour of the Ladybird Beetles (Coccinellidae)
Ladybirds are probably the best known predators of aphids and coccids in the world, though this greatly underestimates the diversity of their biology. Maximising their impact on their prey is an important element in modern conservation biological control of indigenous natural enemies in contrast to the classical approach of releasing alien species. Ivo Hodek is one of the most internationally respected experts on coccinellids who has researched these insects for his entire career. He has now brought together 14 scientists of international standing to author 12 chapters, making this book the definitive treatment of coccinellid biology and ecology. This volume covers the rapid scientific developments of recent years in the understanding of coccinellid phylogeny, the semiochemicals influencing their behaviour and of molecular genetics. Recent insights in relation to intraguild predation and the assessment of the predatory impact of coccinellids are also covered. Other special features of the volume are the extensive references covering the literature from both East and West and a taxonomic glossary of the up-to-date nomenclature for species of coccinellids as well as of other organisms mentioned in the text. While aimed at researchers, university teachers and agricultural entomologists, the book is readable and appropriate for others who just have a liking for these interesting and attractive insects.
