Just for fun: These small insects are more accurately called lady beetles or ladybird beetles. Ladybug is the American name given to the Coccinellidae family of beetles. Bugs have needle-like mouthparts and a mostly liquid diet, while beetles have the ability to chew and enjoy munching on plants and insects. earn their place as a desirable insect based on their preferred diet of plant-damaging insects, including aphids. When the aphids begin to disappear, they realize that winter is coming and flock together to reproduce right before entering hibernation. During this period, which can last as long as nine months, they live on their fat reserve. Tell your goddaughter who's away at summer camp that you're thinking of her with an adorable raccoon, Rocky toasting a marshmallow with an ant on it over a bonfire sitting in front of a cute ladybug tent. Background has a pretty blue sky with a cloud, a grassy hill, water, lady bugs in a jar and red text.
