More Info:
There are about 5,000 different species of ladybugs in the world. These much loved critters are also known as lady beetles or ladybird beetles
Adult ladybugs are round with a semi-circle shape. They have short legs and antennae, and tiny heads. Most ladybugs are red or orange with black dots, but whether there are dots – and how many – varies from one species to the next. Some species even have black coloring and red dots.
The bright colors and distinctive spots on ladybugs are only attractive to humans – not to their predators. The little beetles also harbor a secret weapon: when threatened, they secrete a fluid from the joints in their legs that gives them a foul taste. They can also play dead.
Ladybugs can be found anywhere in the world with an available food source and temperatures that aren’t freezing. Their range is from North American, excluding the arctic region, down to the southernmost tip of South America. They are found east to Europe and Asia, and Africa and Australia.
Ladybugs eat Aphids. Aphids are soft bodied insects that suck the juices out of plants. If you have roses in your garden, you have seen aphids. Aphids also come in a variety of colors and not all ladybugs like all the "flavors" of aphids. Ladybugs will also feed on scale insects and plant mites
Most ladybugs are between 0.8 and 18mm in size, depending on the species and sex of the beetle, and are oval in shape. Red ladybugs are the most common, but you’ll also find yellow and orange varieties as well.
Another unbelievable fact about ladybugs is that their larvae resembles small alligators, having spiky bodies, small stomach and legs protruding from the sides. The larvae take a month to grow into a teenage bug, and during this one month time it consumes as much aphid as an adult ladybug, i.e. up to 400 aphids in 2 to 3 weeks.
When the lady bugs fly, they beat their wings 5100 times in a minute that is almost 85 beats in a second.
