How do Ladybugs Help Organic Farming?
Ladybugs are great. They eat insects that farmers consider to be pests, like aphids, and don't harm plants themselves. So if you have enough ladybugs and the right climate, you could eliminate your need for pesticides on some plants, which aids organic farming significantly. Unfortunately ladybugs cost a lot more than pesticide, so it's not common practice in commercial farming.
How do you get rid of bugs that look like a lady bug?
I can't imagine anyone wanting to get rid of ladybugs. The number of aphids and spider mites they consume more than makes up for any possible annoyance they might cause. If you have lots of them, that means they are finding lots of food -- i.e., the aphids and spider mites they eat. If you take out the ladybugs, their food supply will probably grow out of control very quickly, and then you'll have a lot bigger problem.That said, I think praying mantis (insects of the order Mantodea) might feed on ladybugs, but I'm not sure. I've just never come across anyone wanting to eliminate the ladybugs!
How is a lady bug important to life on earth?

Do lady bugs eat weeds?
Ladybugs do not eat weeds; instead, they primarily feed on aphids and other small insects that can damage plants.

While they may be found in weedy areas, their role is more about pest management than weed consumption.
