Der aus Asien stammende Harlekin-Marienkäfer
gehört in Deutschland inzwischen zum festen Bestand der Insektenwelt. Forscher haben
entdeckt, dass der Käfer gegenüber Krankheitserregern weitgehend immun ist. Aus
seinem Blut könnten künftig Medikamente hergestellt werden.
Der Harlekin-Marienkäfer ist besonders
vermehrungsfreudig.
17. Mai 2013 - Seit einigen
Jahren breitet sich der aus Asien stammende Harlekin-Marienkäfer weltweit aus.
Auch in Deutschland gehört er inzwischen zum festen Bestand der Insektenwelt.
Nur ein Bruchteil einwandernder oder ausgesetzter Arten kann sich in der neuen
Heimat durchsetzen. Der Harlekin, so viel ist bekannt, hat sich bei uns
etabliert, weil er mehr Nachwuchs produziert als die heimischen Marienkäferarten
und weil er einen größeren Appetit hat als sie. Täglich frisst ein Harlekin bis
zu 200 Blattläuse – genau deswegen wurde er auch zur Schädlingsbekämpfung in
Gewächshäusern eingesetzt, von wo aus er dann ausbüchste.
Nun hat eine Forschergruppe unter der Leitung von
Prof. Dr. Andreas Vilcinskas von der Uni Gießen
weitere Erfolgsfaktoren entdeckt: Der Harlekin-Marienkäfer ist weitgehend
unempfindlich gegenüber Krankheitserregern und er trägt zudem Erreger in sich,
die für andere Marienkäferarten tödlich sein können.
Des Rätsels Lösung liegt im Blut der Neuankömmlinge: Es ist voll mit
sporenförmigen Parasiten, sogenannten Mikrosporidien.
Sie ließen sich nach längerer molekularbiologischer Detektivarbeit einer Gruppe
pilzähnlicher Einzeller namens Nosema zuordnen.
„Inzwischen haben wir uns Asiatische Marienkäfer aus der ganzen
Welt angesehen. In jeder Population, in jedem einzelnen Tier, selbst in den Eiern finden wir Mikrosporidien“, so Andreas Vilcinskas. Wenn ein Siebenpunktmarienkäfer
ein Harmonia-Ei
verspeist, infiziert er sich also unweigerlich mit den Erregern. Diese
vermehren sich in ihrem neuen Wirt und bringen ihn schließlich um.
Warum sie ihren asiatischen Wirten nichts anhaben
können, wissen die Forscher noch nicht. Eine heiße Spur gibt es aber schon:
Marienkäfer ernähren sich nicht nur von Blattläusen und ähnlichen Kleintieren,
sie räubern auch gerne die Eigelege anderer
Marienkäfer aus oder fressen deren Larven. Versuche zeigen nun, dass der
Harlekin Eier und Larven anderer Arten mühelos vertilgt. Macht sich aber
umgekehrt ein Siebenpunkt-Marienkäfer -der bekannte heimische „Glücksbringer“-
über die Jugendstadien des Fremdlings her, so kann er daran sterben.
Vermutlich schützen sich die Käfer mit Harmonin,
womit sie die Vermehrung der Mikrosporidien auf einem
ungefährlichen Niveau halten. Harmonin -abgeleitet
vom wissenschaftlichen Namen Harmonia axiridis für den Harlekin-Marienkäfer- erwies sich im
Experiment als effizientes Antibiotikum, unter anderem gegen die Erreger von
Tuberkulose (Tb)
und Malaria. Das aus der Hämolymphe, dem
Marienkäferblut, gewonnene Harmonin wird nun im
Hinblick auf die Entwicklung neuer Medikamente weiter untersucht.
Harmonin ist nur eine von vielen chemischen Waffen, mit denen sich der Käfer gegen Mikroorganismen zur Wehr setzt. Angriffe von Bakterien kontert Harmonia mit über
·
50 verschiedenen Peptiden, also Eiweiß-Substanzen.
Das ergaben Analysen von Dr. Heiko Vogel am Max-Planck-Institut für Chemische
Ökologie in Jena. Damit hält Harmonia einen Rekord,
kein anderes Tier produziert so viele antimikrobielle
Peptide. So sichern sich die Invasoren einen weiteren Wettbewerbsvorteil
gegenüber Siebenpunkt und Verwandtschaft.

Ladybug’s medicine includes carrying the golden strand that leads to the
centre of the universe, past lives, spiritual enlightenment, death and rebirth,
renewal, regeneration, fearlessness, protection, good luck, wishes being
fulfilled, protection.
The ladybug is small and brightly coloured, usually with black, yellow
or red markings and belongs to the beetle family. They are to be found in
nearly all climates and latitudes. The shell on the ladybugs back gives
protection from predators, with their wings closing against their body’s to
give protection to their soft underside.
With their keen instincts the ladybugs feel vibrations through their
legs, allowing them to sense the energy of what they touch, another form of
protection.
The ladybugs colouring also warns predators to stay away, and we should
follow this example by sending out the same messages to our foes and woes.
Also, like ladybug don’t be aggressive, yet defend yourself if needed.
Although the lady bug is a beetle, it is still liked by humans - their
small size symbolises and gentle loving nature, and they give off an energy of
being harmless. This shows us how to stop harming ourselves. Though small in
size the ladybug is fearless. As fear cannot exist amongst joy, the ladybug
brings a message of promise, for they get us back in touch with the joy of
living - we must let go of our fears and go back to our roots, to love. We are
also taught to restore our trust and faith in the universe, we have to get over
ourselves, our egos, and allow life to take its course going with the flow.
The name ladybug has its roots in the middle ages, when it was dedicated
to the Virgin Mary and called the beetle of our lady. This links it to
spiritual idealism and religious devotion. Ladybug people frequently have past
lives linked to religion or church - daily meditation is recommended.
In general ladybugs reproduce sexually, with the female laying eggs.
Their life cycle is only about 4 weeks long, meaning that over a summer several
generations are produced, linking the ladybug to the energies of regeneration
and renewal. Their short life span teaches us not to worry, and to live life to
the full and always in the now. Let go, let the universe and your inner voice
guide you.
People with this totem are generally family orientated, have strong
morals and social values.
Adult ladybugs can eat thousands of aphids and other scale insects in
their life time, and have long been regarded as a good omen by farmers and crop
growers as these can be detrimental to crop production. However, due to its
diet the ladybug often has parasites - a message to those with this power
animal to look after their digestive system.
Ladybug showing up in ones life foretells a time of luck and protection,
where wishes start to become actualised. The seasons of autumn and spring will
be the most plentiful times for those with this power animal. Worries will
quickly disperse when ladybug appears as they shield us from our aggravations,
paving the way for new found happiness - aim high, you will get what you focus
on.
Ladybug also cautions us not to force things or try to hard to fulfil
your wishes, go with the flow and let things take their natural course. Your
wishes will come true when they do - in their own time!

01 Der Siebenpunkt (Coccinella septempunctata) ist der bekannteste und wohl auch häufigste heimische Marienkäfer. Mit rund 6 Millimeter Körperlänge zählt er zu den größeren Arten. Wie der aisatische Verwandte ist der Siebenpunkt ein unermüdlicher Blattlausjäger.
02 Sein Eipaket legt das Käferweibchen an Pflanzen ab, gerne in Nähe von Blattlauskolonien, damit es die Junglarven nicht weit bis zur Nahrungsquelle haben.
03 Die Siebenpunkt-Larve hat einen farbigem Kopf sowie jeweils seitliche Farbpunkten am dritten und sechsten Segment. Damit lässt sie sich gut von der ähnlichen Larve des Harlekin unterscheiden, wo bei schwarzgrauem Kopf die orange Seitenfärbung als durchgehender Streifen erscheint. Frisch gehäutet, ist die Grundfärbung nahezu schwarz.
04 ausgefärbt ist der Larvenkörper grau überhaucht.
05 Bei gutem Blattlausangebot sitzen die Larven auf Sträuchern wie auf diesem Pfaffenhütchen dicht an dicht.
06 Nach mehrmaliger Häutung wandelt sich die Larve schließlich in eine Puppe um, aus der nach wenigen Tagen der fertige Käfer schlüpft.
07 Der Frisch geschlüpfte Käfer benötigt eine Weile, um auszuhärten. Zunächst ist er deshalb nahezu durchsichtig, die hellorange Farbe kommt vom Käferblut.
08 Heller Siebenpunkt. Meist dunkelt der Käfer nach einigen Stunden oder auch Tagen nach.
09 Im Endergebnis ist der Siebenpunkt also immer kräftig rot gefärbt. Er erscheint bereits im zeitigen Frühjahr aus dem Winterquartier.
10 Nur kurz vorm Abflug oder kurz nach der Landung klappt der Siebenpunkt seine dicken Deckflügel auf.
11 Siebenpunkte sind gesellig, sie finden sich oft in Schlafgemeinschaften zusammen. 12 Nicht nur Vögel, sondern auch Parasiten können dem Siebenpunkt gefährlich werden. Hier eine Puppe einer auf Siebenpunkte spezialisierten Brackwespe (Dinocampus coccinellae). Das Ei wird in den Marienkäfer abgelegt und wächst dort heran.

Der Lebensinhalt eines Marienkäfers ist simpel: Er frisst und pflanzt sich fort, das ist seine Routine. Die kann jedoch gestört werden, etwa durch seine Fressfeinde, wie Vögel, Spinnen, Eidechsen, Mäuse, Wanzen oder andere Käfer. Und Ameisen können zu echten Nervensägen werden, wenn sie die Blattläuse schützen wollen, auf die es der Marienkäfer abgesehen hat.
Trotz seines scheinbar unspektakulären Daseins hat Coccinellidae für den Menschen eine große Bedeutung. Er gilt als Glücksbringer, soll Kinder beschützen und Kranke heilen. In der Landwirtschaft hat er sich als nützlicher Helfer erwiesen. Doch sind wirklich alle Arten Glückstiere? Was haben die schwarzen Punkte zu bedeuten?
Und was hat es mit dem stinkenden
Sekret auf sich, das der Marienkäfer absondert?
[Ekaterina Chamurliyska]
Ladybirds are among the most beloved insects - because they are symbol
of good and happiness, and probably because of the attractive red color of their elytron.
In European tradition ladybird is connected to the Holy Mother.
The red color of its elytron
represents the red cloak of Virgin Mary, and the seven black dots are signs of
the 7 joys and 7 sorrows. The connection of the ladybird with
Virgin Mary is not unusual.
In 1991 Dr. Aw. Exell published his book “The
History of the Ladybird”, where he quoted 329 various names of this insect in
55 countries, 80 of which are connected
in a way to Virgin Mary and more than 50 are dedicated to God. There is
also the opposite - one of the Italian names of the ladybird is Galinetta del Diavolo (= Devil’s
bird). Other interesting names are the Swedish Himelska
nyckla (= Key to Heaven) and the Cherokee Great
Beloved Woman.
Ladybird ladybird fly
away home,
Your house is on fire and your children all
gone.
All except one whose name is Anne
Who hid herself under the frying pan.
This is the east-Australian version of a little song, which exists in
all English-speaking countries under one or another form since its creation in ХІХc. Its occurrence shows
the strong “presence of the ladybirds in humans’ mind.
The Bulgarian contribution to the “ladybird-ology”
is a nursery song
“Ladybird, Ladybird, show me the
way, show me the way, where I’ll go to marry”.
The insect is put on the palm and where it flies, from that direction
the suitor will come.
There are more than 5000 species of ladybirds all over the world. Almost
all of them are carnivorous since the larva stage and eat aphids (plant lice).
Only several species
are “vegetarians”. Ladybirds may be small (up to 0,3 mm) to medium (10
mm), their head is retractable in the the dorsal
surface of the first thoracic segment. The antennae are usually 11 segmented,
short and clubbed, the elytra completely cover the abdomen.. The legs are short
and retractable under the body. The blood (haemolympha)
is like repellent (chasing the insects) and smells quite unpleasantly, because
it contents (with some species) various alkaloid toxins (adaline,
coccinelin, exohomine, hypodamine etc.). The haemolympha
is yellow and its repellence and toxicity are a defense
mechanism against carnivorous.
Some people state that the bright colors of
the adult beetles (red over black or black over red) are aposematic,
which means that their colors are a warning for the
potential enemies that the beetle is unpleasant or poisonous.
The Ladybird life cycle is similar in many species, the adults
overwinter often in large groups in any place that is out of the wind.
Breeding generally begins in May, but is dependant on the weather, and
the presence of food. Egg laying continues on into July with each female laying
as many as
1 000 eggs in some species. Many of the carnivorous species lay their
eggs near aphids, ensuring their young a supply of food . Eggs hatch depending
on temperature,
ranging from 10. days at 15° C to 2 days at 35° C.
The larvae when small are often smaller than the aphids they are eating.
A 7 Spot Ladybird larva will consume more than 300 aphids before it pupates.
Emergence depends on temperature. The pupal
skin splits along the back and the adult climbs out. The elytra are a pale
yellowy-orange at this stage but soon brighten
up after a few hours or days. The new adults then feed for a few weeks
before dispersing and looking for food somewhere else.
All beetles have enemies, and ladybirds make no exception. The most
widely spread parasitoid is the braconid
wasp (= Perilitus coccinella).
It attacks adult ladybirds and to a lesser extent larvae and pupae.
Ladybirds are considered beneficial for the biological control and
balance because they are predators of Homoptera or Acarina.
That is to say that gardeners and farmers bless them because they
resolve or at least decrease pest problems.
Proving:
The idea to make a homeopathic proving of ladybird came to me
spontaneously after a prescription of the famous Indian homeopath Dr. Mahesh
Gandy, who was
in Bulgaria. The patient to whom he recommended this remedy liked very
much to play with ladybirds, she had dreams of flying and kept in her something
from
that time, now, when she was mother of two children with successful
career. She still had the childishness in her. She needed constant care and she
said that she
was feeling the best during her second pregnancy, when everybody around
her paid attention to her.
The proving was done during a seminar in Sofia, with students from the
course of the Homeopathic Society and London International College of
Homeopathy.
8 volunteers took part - 7 women and one man, who dropped out later,
because he took through carelessness another remedy one week later.
Prover No. 7 (G) dropped out too, because
she took another remedy one week later.
Two homeopathic preparations have been used - the first one (No. 1) was
prepared by the Bulgarian representative of Helios - MPh.
Temenuga Sotirova,
the second one (No. 2) was prepared by me personally. (As Hahnemann recommended
- it is well that the homeopath prepare the remedies
themselves). The ladybirds were gathered in May 2004 in an ecologically
clean area - the village of Dolna Bania
(near Sofia).
I was the only one to know what remedy was to be proved, and I didn’t
participate in the proving myself, I just summarized the results.
TOPICS
Help, comforting, cares for others
Prover А: *Dream : I dreamt the first night that
friends are changing their residence, they are worried and I calm them down
that they will not live in lodgings any more. And I help them.
*Dream: 2nd night - a conversation between colleagues
homeopaths for homeopathic remedies. Finally they tell me that from what they
have heard, I am a very caring person and I should take Nat-m.
Prover В: *Dream: 1st evening - everybody
makes me feel comfortable, all the time they are doing something good for me.
Care for me.
Somebody even tells me to change my bathing suite because it is wet and
I could take cold. They take a lot of care for me.
Prover С: * At a meeting with a friend I show
attendance to her, I light her cigarette, I tell her: Put the bag on this
chair, to feel more comfortable.
* Pity for everything and everybody, universal nostalgia.
Dream: 4 men and they all give me information to make my life more
pleasant...
Houses
Prover А: *Dream: Friends are moving to new
residence...., I check out how goes the construction of the prospective
residence...
Prover С: * Dream: I dreamed our old house, which was
demolished and now in my dream that it is rebuild and very beautiful...
Prover D: *Dream: I go to another man with
my baby, in a big rich house...
Prover F: *Dream: I dream a house on a
hill...
*Dream: There is a country house, nobody lives there any more, it is
demolishing, but I had a dream that I was there, with my children again, I
dreamed my mother.
I was looking for my father again... (CHILDREN)
Travel:
Prover В: Dream: I dream that I am travelling. I visit
many places. The one is familiar to me, with many houses, many people, I is on
the beach, I travel somewhere
and the morning I woke up with the feeling that I was taken good care
all the night.
Dream: I am on a boat. The dream was
pleasant again. All the dreams are pleasant. Only good dreams with this remedy,
with happy end.
Prover D: Dream: women, friends, we are
walking about.
Forces of Nature, Disasters, Accidents:
Prover А: *Dream:
The fifth night I had a dream of a heavy earthquake, the soil is all cracked,
many animals running about, horses mainly, a meadow with horses.
I start to run too. I see a building, half-demolished and a baby inside,
so I come back, naturally, take the baby and start running (CHILDREN).
*Dream 6th night -
Deluge, many flooded houses, a town near the seashore, the sea rises and floods
the first row of houses, people are sad and worried and I comfort
them, I tell them that they will build even prettier houses and that
there is nothing fatal. (HELP, COMFORTING)
Prover F: *Dream: I dreamed children, many people, an accident. I see a woman
with two children. But the deceased ones are only the woman and the little boy,
I see laid on earth, drown out of the car - the woman lying on her back,
the child, on his belly... I take part of the traffic too. (CHILDREN)
*Dream: I dreamed a house, on
a hill (HOUSES). Many people again, a flood, lot of water. It is so much, that
the first floor of the house is almost flooded.
Many people sail through this water with boats. They bail the water out.
I am there, together with my children, I feel anxious, tense. But at one time
the water seems
to flow away (CHILDREN).
Deceased Relatives
Prover F: Dream: My father who is deceased, hurt his armpit. I put him some
bandage, I don’t remember exactly whether we had a talk, it was like a picture
(HELP).
Dream: I am looking for my father again
(he is deceased). I am looking for him, want to find him, to talk with him, but
he is gone somewhere and later I realize that
he is gone with my grandmother who is deceased too. I dreamed my mother
who is deceased too. All dead people.
Marginal Persons (gypsies, alcoholics ...)
Prover Е: Dream:
Climbing the stairs, a gypsy came up with me. I decided to run but he told me
“Don’t even think about it, and took out a gun. The next stairs another
gypsy came up with me and put a knife to my back... Someone rang at the
door, I looked through the eyelet and I saw the same gypsy with the gun. I told
my family
that he was ringing, but nobody moved... I realized that I will never be
able to protect myself from these gypsies, because one of them was marrying one
neighbor of
mine and they would have access to our entrance at any time. Nasty
dream. My sensation was that I was alone and there is no one to protect me. I
was alone among friends.
(PROTECTION)
Synchronic experience:
Prover В: I look after the homeless dogs and they are
all castrated, determined we take care of them. One of the animals sleeps in
the entrance on a sofa, it is the most gentle, de best one, I take care of it
for three years. There is an alcoholic, who harasses us all, he went back from
the pub and slaughtered the animal, he virtually cut it into pieces.
I called the police, I had to have a lot of conversations... Now I am
looking for an organization defending the animals, someone to back me up, this
person lives with us and
he threatens that he will kill the other animals too. The police
arrested him for 24 hours and then set him free. But this massacre, the police,
all this sorrow came too much
to me and I got ill. I remembered this because in her dream prover E has been threatened by a gypsy with a knife, and
to me it happened really.
Children
Prover А: * Dream:
I play with my niece who is 2 years old and it is very pleasant.
*Dream: I see a building
(HOUSES), half-demolished and a baby inside, so I come back, naturally and take
it and start running.
Prover F: *Dream: I dreamed an accident... The girl stayed to the feet of her
brother. She was very sad. Even now I feel so sad that a child is dead.
In the car I was also with my children.
Animals, Sympathy to
Prover А: * Dream:
Earthquake, many animals running about, horses mainly, a meadow with horses. A
show, something like bullfight, but the animal is an elephant,
instead of bull, I felt very sorry and woke up with a sinking heart.
Prover D: *Dream: I went out for a walk and was attacked by dogs. Dogs, chased
from Prover F:
Dream: I am in my village again, in a
yard with many street dogs around me, they seemed well intentioned, but the
next moment they started chasing me and I had hard
time to close the street door so that they couldn’t attack me.
Synchronic experience
Prover Н: The second day after I took the remedy, I had
an accident with a dog. And since my childhood I was not bitten by a dog. It
was dark, I opened a door and
it came to me, without barking and directly bit me. (shows quite a big
wound on the leg)
Prover В: (See the synchronic experience under the
rubric “Marginal Persons”)
Self-esteem, Aggression
Prover А: * I had a quarrel with a colleague, I told
her everything I should - that it cannot go on like this any more. I did
something I’ve never done before. I went to my boss and I put the problem -
he didn’t say anything, so I told him that I will follow the hierarchy
upwards and the problem will be solved. I shaked my
finger, I knocked with my finger.
* I gave my hand to my husband to kiss it and I thought it was normal,
not a kind of haughtiness.
Prover В: * I had a quarrel with my husband because he
woke me up and I told him: ”you must show consideration with me, and I shake a
finger! (А). And
I am able to offend somebody only if I am provoked to, not without reason.
* I left a pile of dirty dishes to my husband and I did it on purpose. I
do everything instead of him. And I banged the door - he has washing machine, he
can put the dishes inside. I did it on purpose.
* I don’t care - it is very important, because I am very responsible
person.
Prover С: * Increased self-esteem.
Prover D: * I tell easier things to
people, without thinking that much, more spontaneously. I don’t think of
consequences, as I usually do, I say it like something natural...
* My husband can buy a new chair for his computer desk, and I have to
ask him for everything. And I decided to talk very seriously about this. I
defend myself more.

MAKEUP)
* I want that my husband buy me boots with high heels, instead of books,
as usual.
Prover С: * My hair is black for one year and now I
want to make it light brown and shorter. (HAIR)
Prover D: * Desire to look better,
increased - to buy myself something new, clothes, to make my hair brown with
blond tufts. I decided to buy a wig, because my hair will
not hold on.(HAIR)
Prover Е: Dream:
I dreamt that I was to the hairstylist, and I saw a woman with black shiny
hair, and the lower layer was shiny blond like the hair of a Barbie doll. I
asked her how she achieved this color and she told me
in which hairdresser’s, so I went to this hairdresser... (HAIR)
Intuition Prover А: * Increased intuition. I think of
somebody and they call me.
Prover В: * Very strong intuition.
Prover D: * For almost the entire week,
very increased intuition, whatever I think of, it happens. I like playing
backgammon on the Internet and when I think of a number
on the dice, it comes. I know in advance even how I will play.
Confusion of time, dates, numbers
Prover В: * I called my mother to wish her happy
birthday which was one month later. I was absolutely sure that my mother has a
birthday exactly at that day, because I was listening what they would say for
her zodiac sign on TV and I even told my husband and children not to forget
about the birthday.
They didn’t say anything, but later they commented that it was doubtful.
* There is a confusion in my head - which day we are, what date. And now
it is a problem for me.
Prover С: * I was sure that I was living in this
village for 3 years, it was for a few seconds, then I started calculating and
found out that I live there for 6 years.
* I have a meeting with a friend of mine at 14 h. and I cannot calculate
for how many minutes she is late. A kind of confusion concerning calculation
and facts.
No memory; problem with numbers and factology.
Lightness, Weightlessness, Relax, Energy/Tiredness, Exhaustion
Prover А: * Feeling of weightlessness, relax.
Prover В: * The second day after the remedy was my best
one - I felt lightness, I didn’t get sleepy the whole day, lively, but not
tensioned like after coffee, refreshed,
maybe my memory was better, otherwise I am quite absentminded. I had the
feeling that everybody around me felt good..
Prover С: * Unreal feeling.
* I felt more sluggish (In I am quite fast).

Nota bene:
During this proving, some synchronic events occurred (as per Jung).
Causal thinking is linear, while the synchronic thinking is field like and this
is not a simple analogy with modern physics.

Umwelt- Das unterschätzte Tier
Marienkäfer ist unersättlich
Warum sich mit wenig zufrieden geben, wenn man auch viel haben kann? Der Marienkäfer protzt, wo er nur kann: beim Aussehen, beim Fressen, beim Sex.
Der Marienkäfer kleckert nicht, er klotzt. Nicht in dem Sinne, dass er ein besonders fleißiger Zeitgenosse wäre. Nein, das anscheinend so brav und bieder auf den Blättern hockende Käferchen hat’s faustdick hinter den Fühlern. Und einen ausgeprägten Hang zu Maßlosigkeit und Angeberei.
Das geht schon bei den Arten los: DEN Marienkäfer gibt es nicht. Es gibt auch nicht zig Arten oder vielleicht ein paar hundert. Unfassbare 4.000 Arten Coccinellidae tummeln sich auf unserem Planeten, davon rund 80 in Deutschland. Und als ob es damit nicht genug wäre, hat jede diverse Varianten gebildet. Luzerne-Marienkäfer zum Beispiel gibt es in noch einmal 4.000 einzelnen
Farben und Formen.
Der Marienkäfer (Coccinellidae) ist weltweit verbreitet und kommt in warmen Regionen am artenreichsten vor. In Südeuropa gibt es zum Beispiel mehr Arten als im Norden. Die Käfer sind beliebte Nützlinge, weil sie in ihrem Leben bis zu 50.000 Blattläuse und ähnliche Schädlinge vertilgen. Hin und wieder werden sie zu Kannibalen und verspeisen Artgenossen.
Die Marienkäfer sind gute Flieger, allerdings nur über kurze Strecken. Bei ihren längeren Wanderzügen Richtung Winterquartier sind sie auf den Wind angewiesen.
Weil sie so die Flugrichtung nicht beeinflussen können, kommt es vor allem an Küsten immer wieder zu "Invasionen" mit mehreren Millionen Tieren.
Der Name "Marienkäfer" stammt aus dem Mittelalter, als Bauern in dem Käfer ein Geschenk der Heiligen Maria sahen.
Masse statt Klasse ist auch das Motto bei den Punkten. Es soll nicht verschwiegen werden, dass einige Arten durchaus mit zwei, vier, fünf, sieben oder zehn Punkten auf ihren harten Deckflügeln auskommen. Doch die Natur scheint wahrhaftig darauf zu pfeifen, dass so ein kleiner, zwischen einem und zwölf Millimeter langer halbkugelförmiger Körper nun einmal nur begrenzten Punkteplatz bietet. Völlig unarrangiert quetschen sich auf dem Rücken mancher Arten bis zu 24 schwarze, braune, rote oder auch mal helle Punkte. Oft verschmelzen sie derart, dass der Käfer aussieht, als wäre er ganz schwarz. Und aus ist die Punktepracht.
Dem in Deutschland am häufigsten Sieben-Punkt-Käfer Coccinella septempunctata kann zumindest das nicht passieren. Falsch ist übrigens die Annahme, die Punkte würden etwas über das Alter des Marienkäfers aussagen. Wer sein Käferdasein mit elf Punkten startet, hat auch als Marienkäfer-Greis keinen einzigen zusätzlichen Punkt.
Auch wenn Maßlosigkeit nicht unbedingt eine Tugend ist, dafür, dass der Marienkäfer sie auch beim Fressen an den Tag legt, sollte man ihm Respekt zollen. Zwischen
50 und 100 Blattläuse, Schildläuse, Spinnmilben, Wanzen und ähnliches Getier, das der Pflanzenfreund nicht im Garten haben möchte, verspeist der Käfer. Das sind bis
zu vier Stück pro Stunde.
Ein gelbes Gift schreckt Fressfeinde ab
Solch ein Pensum verträgt keine Störung. Um zeitraubende Rangeleien mit Fressfeinden auf ein Minimum zu reduzieren, hat sich Coccinellidae daher eine umfassende Verteidigungsstrategie aufgebaut:
Er sondert bei Gefahr eine gelbliche, übelriechende Flüssigkeit ab, die giftige Alkaloide enthält, und stellt sich dabei tot. Wird er doch verschlungen, ist er kein leckeres Mahl, er schmeckt unangenehm bitter. Und damit der potentielle Angreifer gleich Bescheid weiß, hat der Marienkäfer seine Deckflügel möglichst knallig -meist rot- gefärbt.
Diese Signalfarbe wird von den natürlichen Farbstoffen Alpha- und Betacarotin sowie Lycopin gebildet.
Arten, Punkte, Blattlausmengen - wer so gerne aus den Vollen schöpft, macht auch bei der Liebe keine Ausnahme. Der Marienkäfer steht auf Sex. Der Akt an sich ist wenig spektakulär, besticht jedoch durch seine Dauer: Bis zu 18 Stunden lang paart sich ein Marienkäferpärchen. Theoretisch würde das eine Mal genügen, um das Weibchen zu befruchten. Doch Marienkäferweibchen lassen sich mehrfach begatten - bis zu zwanzig Mal, von unterschiedlichen Männchen. Gerne auch, während sie fressen. Es scheint,
als seien die kleinen Punktekäfer einfach unersättlich.
