Yes, ladybugs can survive without food. But the insects in question (Coccinellidae family) find it easier to do so in the fall and winter when they prioritize safety from inclement weather after eating their fill in spring and summer. Ladybird beetles have reserves upon which they can draw, but not during the warm weather when they are just starting their yearly jobs as beneficial predators of such garden pests as aphids, mealybugs, and scale.
