From: Aphid facultative symbionts reduce survival of the predatory lady beetle Hippodamia convergens

Figure 2

Surviving lady beetles fed aphids with facultative symbionts during development have significantly increased final weight. A) Female lady beetles fed aphids with no symbiont or fed aphids with a facultative symbiont (trials with aphid with S. symbiotica or with H. defensa combined). B) Male lady beetles fed aphids with no symbiont or fed aphids with a facultative symbiont.
