What is a Ladybug?
Ladybugs are small, round beetles known for their shiny red or orange bodies covered in black spots. They are also called ladybirds in some parts of the world. Most ladybugs are only about half an inch (1.3 centimeters) long, and they have a smooth, dome-shaped shell that helps protect their soft wings underneath.
These helpful bugs can live up to a year and are covered in a hard outer shell that feels smooth and glossy. Ladybugs make a quiet clicking sound when they fly or crawl, and they often flap their tiny wings quickly as they lift off. They love to live in gardens, meadows, and anywhere with plants and flowers.
Ladybugs eat tiny insects like aphids, which makes them very useful in keeping gardens healthy. Many farmers and gardeners are happy to see ladybugs, since they protect crops in a natural way. These colorful little creatures are a big help in a small package!
