Each other is what ladybugs eat in the absence of acceptable prey or food sources. In fact, that's a problem in regard to the Asian ladybug's presence in the United States of America. The Asian ladybug [Harmonia axyridis] outcompetes native ladybugs such as the C-7* [Coccinella septempunctata] for food sources, and then turns the American critter into meals as well.

*Other common names include 'seven-spotted', 'seven-spot', and 'North American'.
