Ladybugs favor vegetation as homes. There is a survival reason for this preference. Specifically, the undersides of leaves are where ladybugs lay their eggs.

With leaf drop in fall, ladybugs favor leaf-covered ground around the base of fence posts and trees. They also may seek shelter under fallen trees. Another favorite living arrnagement is around and under rocks.

In winter, ladybugs may continue to seek shelter under leaf litter. But they also may try to move inside people's houses. Wherever they shelter during the winter, they tend not to be looking for prey.

Generally, ladybugs like their prey soft-bodied and slow-moving. They favor mealy bugs, mites, scales, and whiteflies. But their all-time favorites are aphids.
