Stress is why a ladybug excretes liquids.

Specifically, the insect in question (Coccinellidaefamily) has yellow-colored blood. The ladybug releases some blood as protection in stressful situations, such as being picked up by humankind. The blood will tell other wildlife that the foul-smelling, unattractive liquid foreshadows a bad-tasting meal.
