Ladybugs are small, round beetles with bright red or orange wings and black spots. They are one of the most loved bugs in the world! Ladybugs can have different numbers of spots. Some have two spots and some have many more.
Ladybugs are great helpers in the garden. They eat tiny pests called aphids that hurt plants. One ladybug can eat up to 50 aphids in a single day! When a ladybug is scared, it can play dead or let out a yucky smell to keep enemies away.
