Yes. I have been bitten several times. Each year our home gets invaded in early autumn (we live in Wisconsin). We get the typical red ladybugs and the Asian ones which are orange (both with black spots). For the remainder of the winter the orange ones remain in the house coming out seemingly one or two at a time on a regular basis. We have to check the bed every night or we can be assured of being awakened by the rather painful bite. Unlike horseflies and mosquitoes, these insects don't need any time to make the bite noticeable. Almost the second they land or crawl on they bite. Also unlike the horsefly and mosquito, the bite doesn't seem to leave any bump or itch, it just hurts.

∙ 6y agoYes, ladybugs can bite.
Ladybugs species that are indigenous to North America have mouthparts too small to do any damage. Asian varieties that have been brought to the US to aid in pest control over the past several decades do have mouth parts that are more suited to nipping or pinching at human flesh, and they may look very similar, despite the fact that they still have no venom or aggressive saliva.
Any ladybug bite is highly unlikely to break the skin, and would rarely cause a rash or need any sort of treatment.

∙ 15y agoYes ladybugs bite. You might get a slight rash. But they don't have irritating salive, or venom. It kinda feels like a pinch/sting.

Yes, individuals report having been attacked by ladybugs [Coccinellidae]. Many such reports are in terms of Asian lady beetles/Japanese ladybugs [Harmonia axyridis]. Specifically, a ladybug that lands on human skin may or may not take a little bite. Researchers don't know exactly why that happens. The ladybug may be in search of minerals and salts.
