About Ladybugs:

Ladybugs (also called ladybirds or lady beetles) are among the most beloved insects in the world, recognized by their bright red or orange wing covers (elytra) decorated with black spots. The most common species has seven spots, though ladybugs can have anywhere from zero to fifteen spots! These beneficial insects are gardeners' best friends—a single ladybug can eat up to 5,000 aphids in its lifetime, making them natural pest controllers. Ladybugs are actually beetles, not bugs, belonging to the family Coccinellidae. They're found on every continent except Antarctica. When threatened, ladybugs can secrete a foul-tasting fluid from their leg joints to deter predators—their bright colors warn predators they taste bad! Ladybugs go through complete metamorphosis: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The larvae look completely different from adults—spiky and alligator-like—but are equally voracious aphid eaters. In many cultures, ladybugs are symbols of good luck and prosperity. Finding a ladybug is considered fortunate, and they're beloved by children and gardeners alike!
