Ladybird is know to be a type of biocontrol insect agent as they assist in naturally eating the bugs which cause economical and productional damage to the industry.
The Ladybird works by getting g rod of the aphids which spoil and damage the cottons in a wide range of field. The Ladybird simply eats the aphids which greatly reduce the number of pests and also help the farmers to keep a check of the aphid population.
Because of this naturally occurring predator which helps and checks the number of aphids there has been no need to genetically modify the cotton crops (some have been done such as the biotechnology or bt. Cotton). This also ensures the limit on use of pesticides, insecticides and the amount of harmful spray cans (used to kill aphids).
So, it is a helpful insect which keep the control of a specific bug.
