Best Answer

No, ladybugs cannot eat flowers. But the insects in question (Coccinellidae family) may feed upon floral nectars and pollens in the younger portions of their generally year-long life cycles and natural histories. As adults, they will be known more for protecting flowers from harmful pests than for damaging any of the plant's above- and below-ground body parts.
