No, ladybugs do not eat dust mites since their primary food sources are aphids, a garden pest. Dust mites are too small to eat and to see with the human eye. If you see dust mites, you are seeing many of them together. Dust mites exist to clean up what falls off from one's body, food scraps, pets and other small matter, so you will always have dust mites in your home.

∙ 14y agoYes, ladybugs can eat dust mites even though they do not necessarily do so. The beneficial insects in question (Coccinellidae family) may find overlaps with pesty dust mites (Dermatophagoides spp) upon moving inside homes for the winter. The relocation nevertheless signals ladybugs having eaten more than their weight's worth of garden insect pests and prioritizing a warm place from the cold rather than seeking additional food sources.

∙ 8y agoNo, ladybugs do not eat peanuts. The insects in question (Coccinellidae family) function predominantly as predators of such garden pests as aphids, mealybugs, and scale. The exceptional ladybugs that are herbivorous instead of carnivorous tend to prefer such softer foods as pollen.
