Since last week, tourists have not stopped talking about the thousands of ladybirds in Anapa that are behaving aggressively. Eyewitnesses report that insects literally attack people, and do not cease to be lost in conjecture about the reasons for what is happening.
According to the expert, the invasion of ladybirds is caused by the peak of the predator-prey population curve: when the number of prey increases, the number of predators rises sharply. Ladybugs, despite their cute and harmless appearance, are precisely predators. In this case, the victims should be considered small caterpillars, as well as ticks, which have become much more, thanks to the warm, humid weather. If a person finds himself in such a place where ladybirds gather, then they can attack him.
