LADYBUG FACTS
- Ladybugs are actually beetles
- In Europe, they are known as ladybirds
- People believe it to be good luck if a ladybug lands on your hand
- Farmers love ladybugs because they eat plant-eating insects that harm their crops
- There are roughly 5,000 species of ladybug in the world
- Ladybugs aren’t always red, they are sometimes orange, yellow, pink or brown
- Some species of ladybug have stripes instead of spots
- Ladybugs eat pesky fruit flies
- Ladybugs got their name from European farmers in the middle ages. Their crops were being destroyed by aphids. The farmers prayed to the Virgin Mary and ladybugs came and ate the aphids. Hence the farmers called them “Our Lady’s beetles”.
