QUICK FACTS
Habitats:
Ladybugs can be found in a wide variety of habitats, including gardens, fields, forests, and even urban areas. They prefer environments with plenty of plants and aphids to feed on. Some common habitats for ladybugs include:
Meadows and grasslands
Agricultural fields (e.g., wheat, corn, soybean)
Orchards and vineyards
Backyard gardens
Forests and woodlands
Diet:
Ladybugs are predators that primarily feed on aphids, which are small, soft-bodied insects that suck plant juices. However, they are not picky eaters and will also consume other small insects like mites, scale insects, and even the eggs and larvae of other bugs. Some species of ladybugs also feed on pollen, nectar, and honeydew.
Size:
Ladybugs are relatively small insects. Most species range in size from 0.08 to 0.4 inches (2 to 10 millimeters) in length. However, some larger species can grow up to 0.8 inches (20 millimeters) long.
Life Span:
The lifespan of a ladybug can vary depending on the species and environmental conditions. On average, most ladybugs live for about 1 year. However, some species can live for 2-3 years, especially if they are able to successfully hibernate during the winter months.
Predators:
Despite their bright colors, which serve as a warning to predators that they are unpalatable, ladybugs still face threats from various predators. Some of their common predators include:
Birds (e.g., sparrows, robins, chickadees)
Frogs and toads
Spiders
Lacewings
Parasitic wasps
Dragonflies
Praying mantises
