Influence of antibiotics on total MP content of H. axyridis. A Total MP concentration (pg/mg) fresh weight of guts and residual bodies (body) of female and male H. axyridis fed for 10 days with Sitotroga eggs (in honey) (gray) and Sitotroga eggs mixed with honey and antibiotics (dark spotted). (b) Total MP contents in pg/sample after same procedure as shown in 4A. (c) Total MP (pg/mg) fresh weight of whole individuals, dissected guts (gut) and residual bodies (body) from L4 larval instars and newly hatched beetles (beetle p.h.) under Sitotroga eggs (gray) and Sitotroga eggs‐antibiotic mix (dark spotted). (d) Total MP pg/sample of experiment presented in C. Statistical significant differences in values *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01
