That they have skeletons on outside, that their bodies are segmented, and that their appendages or legs are jointed are the reasons why ladybugs are arthropods. These three characteristics are the hallmarks of the arthropod. The word 'arthropod' comes from the Greek words 'arthron' and 'podos' for 'jointed foot'.

Ladybugs are insects because all insects have 6 legs and ladybugs have 6 legs, making ladybugs insects.

Also ladybugs are carnivores

Ladybugs are in fact invertebrates because they don't have backbones, that's the way God designed them.
