Pigments and toxins are reasons why ladybird beetles have orange blood. The insects in question (Coccinellidae family) have self-defensive mechanisms that include alkaloids to release foul-smelling blood and aposematic orange and red colors to warn of unpleasant odors, tastes and textures. Aposematic, smelly blood matches aposematic, smelly bodies on a gardener's most beloved, most industrious, most intrepid beneficial insect predator of aphids, mealyworms, scale and thrips.
