INTRODUCTION: The Ladybird Beetle, more often
referred to as Ladybug, is among the most visible and best known
beneficial predatory insect. Over 450 species are found in North
America. Some are native and some have been introduced from other
countries.
Often times,
they are referred to as the gardener's best friend, because they
feed on mites, small insects, and insect eggs. Ladybugs are usually
red or orange with black markings. Some ladybugs are black, often
with red markings.
When found in
your home in the wintertime, ladybugs are thought to bring good
luck!
