Hello,
i am a high school science student doing a project on how carbon dioxide 
affects the reflex bleeding habits of American ladybugs, and I was wondering if 
you can see reflex bleeding from an untrained eye; and if so how can i create 
the stimuli so the ladybugs will react. FYI: reflex bleeding is when ladybugs 
are disturbed by a predator, they force a tiny amount of their blood through 
their joints, scaring the predator away.
