They eat and control aphids. Ladybugs are our friends in the garden. === === WWW. GOOGLE.CA/LADYBUGFACTS OR YOU CAN GO ON WWW.GOOGLE.CA AND SEARCH UP WHAT DO LADYBUGS EAT AND FIND OUT WHAT ELSE LADYBUGS EAT! Ladybugs, or ladybirds, as they also called in many parts of the world, (and some other names, too), are small beetles. Many of them has red, yellow, or orage coloured wing coverings with black spots or dots. There are more than 5000 species, (different kinds), of ladybirds and some of them has other colorings. Most ladybirds feed on aphids (plant lice), that green, tiny insects, that in turn, feed on plants, and are very much hated by gardeners. If you see any of these green pests on your rosebush, that's a very bad news for your rosebush. Scale insects, another pest, which sucks the sap out of plants, are also eaten up by ladybirds. So, as you can see, these lovely, little beetles can be very useful. If you like to know more about them, http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/coccinellidae has a lot of interesting facts to share.
