10 CHARMING LADYBUG FACTS
Ladybugs or ladybirds as they are also known are not bugs or birds at all, they are beetles.

In Europe and many other parts of the world ladybugs as they are known in America are called ladybirds or ladybird beetles.
Lady Beetles eat an enormous amount of plant pests and insects, therefore they are loved by gardeners and farmers.
Depending on the specie, ladybug females can lay up to 1000 eggs between spring and early summer, eggs hatch within 3-4 days.
There are 4 stages in the life cycle of the ladybug: egg, larva, pupa and adult.
The average lifespan of a ladybug is 1 year.
Most adults overwinter and will hide themselves in clusters or groups under leaf litter, under bark, and other protected places.
When threatened by other predators, ladybugs will release a yellow foul-smelling substance from their leg joints as a reflex to deter danger effectively.
