That they are distasteful is the reason why insects do not eat ladybugs.

Specifically, the ladybug colors of black and red caution predators of bad, life-challenging tastes. Disagreeable taste does not discourage such ladybug-preying insects as assassin and stink bugs. It also will not discourage anurans (especially toads) or arachnids (especially Spiders).
