Consume pollen, eat each other and stain surfaces can be considered the possible harm that ladybugs do.
Specifically, the beetle in question (Coccinellidaefamily) functions as one of the world's most beloved, iconic beneficial insects. The ladybug beetle generally is a devoted controller of such crop and garden pests as aphids, mealybugs, and scale. But there may be four scenarios which slightly compromise that image:
Asian ladybug beetles (Harmonia axyridis) - which control soybean aphids - are out-competing and preying upon native ladybirds in the United States;
Ladybug beetles can stain building and plant surfaces with a yellow liquid;
12-spotted ladybugs (Coleomegilla maculata) consume dandelion and sunflower pollen - which puts them in competition with other pollinators but results in no negative impact upon necessary pollination - when insect pests are unavailable;
22-spotted ladybird beetles (Psyllobora 22-punctata) may be considered herbivores if their normal diet of fungus and mildew goes sparse but the plant-eating never gets out of hand or results in harm to food webs.
