No, lady*bugs* do not eat slugs there diets contain aphids and mites such as plants. Ladybug's favorite food are aphids and mites. They simply walk up to the little critters and eat them. As aphids and alike are often destructive to gardens, ladybugs can be purchased commercially as a natural garden pest control in many areas. A ladybug eats aphids usually but sometimes other plant-eating insects. Ladybugs can eat up to 5,000 aphids in their life which is why farmers seem to like the little critters.

Do platypuses eat slugs?

This really depends on what is meant by "slugs". Platypuses eat small water animals such as aquatic insect larvae of caddisflies, mayflies and two-winged flies, fresh water shrimp, annelid worms, yabbies and crayfish. Insect larvae and worms might be considered by some to be "slugs" but they are not true slugs, and are not eaten by platypuses.
