Interesting Facts• Because Ladybugs eat lots of aphids and other
pest insects, many gardeners and farmers use them for pest control instead of chemicals.
• Ladybugs come in many colors like pink, yellow, white, orange and black.
• Ladybugs make a chemical that smells and tastes bad so predators won’t eat them.
• Ladybugs are actually beetles, so sometimes are called Lady Beetles.
