Notes on Ladybugs
All About Ladybugs:
Ladybugs (also called lady birds and lady beetles) are small, oval-shaped winged insects. These shiny insects are usually red with black spots or black with red spots on the wing covers. The number of spots identifies the type of ladybug. Most ladybugs are less than 1/4 inch (4-8 mm) long. As ladybugs age, the color of the spots fade. Birds are the major predator of the ladybug. Ladybugs will play dead when threatened. 
The ladybug is one of the few insects which enjoys popularity around the world, and for good reason. These pretty insects are credited with many virtues. Ladybugs have long been considered a symbol of good luck and fortune. Because of their ability to eat an enormous supply of aphids, ladybugs were believed to be sent from heaven to save crops. In some cultures, the sight of a ladybug indicates a bountiful harvest, a harbinger of good weather or a good luck omen.
