Yes, the spots of ladybug backs matter in terms of insect life cycles and natural histories. The spots serve as visual communication for other ladybugs, predators and prey. They warn potential predators of unpleasant scents, tastes and textures just as much as they tell same-species members of the acceptability of mating.
