Technically ladybugs that eat aphids are aphidophagous, and ladybirds that eat coccids are coccidophagous which makes them, for all purposes carnivores. However, some ladybirds like the Mexican bean beetle are strict herbivores and others eat both pollen and aphids making them omnivores. So the REAL answer is ALL three. Isn't science fun.
