Why so derisive to "some Humans"? We say Ladybirds in Britain because that is what they are know as here.
They eat all sorts of tiny aphids and some are white in color. We call them Ladybirds in the UK !
Ladybugs adapt to their environment by finding the location of a food source. They also adapt by playing dead when in danger.
No. Ladybugs are not poisonous to humans. However, they can have toxic effects on some animals. Ladybugs have a foul odor which deters some predators from eating them and their bright colors also help as a deterrent. In nature, red and orange, are warning colors that indicate to another animal or insect that the potential "lunch item" might not be a good choice.
3,500 species of ladybird have been dicovered, and the most common are:Seven spotted ladybirds- Coccinella septempunctataTwo spotted ladybirds- Adalia bipunctataHarlequin ladybirds- Harmonia axyridisThere is lots of colour variations for harlequin ladybirds- some are black with red or pink spots, some are red with many black square spots and some are black or red with no spots. Two spotted ladybirds can be black with two red or pink spots.
not unless you hurt or kill them in some way........ :D
ladybirds are found in the woodlands and beaches some ladybirds can kill so watch out. aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Technically ladybugs that eat aphids are aphidophagous, and ladybirds that eat coccids are coccidophagous which makes them, for all purposes carnivores. However, some ladybirds like the Mexican bean beetle are strict herbivores and others eat both pollen and aphids making them omnivores. So the REAL answer is ALL three. Isn't science fun.
Some, some not.
yes some ladybugs are nocturnal and don't sleep at night but some come out in the day and don't sleep that much.
Some birds do, particularly some insectivore bird species.
A. They are not harmful to humans. Ladybugs are not poisonous to humans. However, they can have toxic effects on some animals.
