Abstract
This study aimed to focus on the identification, rearing, and exploration of developmental variants of the predatory ladybird, Coccinella septempunctata L., renowned for its efficacy as a biological control agent and its predation on agricultural pests. However, comprehensive knowledge concerning the occurrence and characteristics of developmental variants in this species remains limited. In this study, through meticulous monitoring and exploration, we identified developmental variants exhibiting distinct sexual attributes, as well as survival rates. The research outcomes enhance our understanding of the developmental variations within an egg batch of C. septempunctata. Moreover, the findings hold practical implications for the implementation of biological control strategies in agriculture, as specific variants may possess unique characteristics that enhance their effectiveness as natural enemies against pests.
