Lots of ladybugs have oval-shaped bodies with six legs. That means they are a type of insect. Depending on the species, they can have either spots, stripes, or even no markings at all!
Ladybugs, or lady beetles (both are same), are a kind of helpful bug for farmers which really helps them by eating an aphids, and other destructive insect pests. The adult ladybugs feed on these insects. They also lay their eggs on the the aphids or other prey so the ladybug larvae can feed on the insects, too.
Ladybug Life Cycle
First there is the egg. Later it hatches to be a larva. Soon it will be a pupa. Finally it will become an adult ladybug!
