Inside buildings and under bush or log piles and protective parts of non-woody and woody plants are places where ladybugs can be found in fall. The insects in question (Coccinellidae family) function as beneficial bugs by eating spring- and summer-time pests. They start seeking "shelter from the storm" (quoting Bob Dylan, master of the craft of music and song) as early as September since the adult stage of feeding and mating is done for the year.

What is the ecological cycle of ladybugs?

How do the parents care for the offspring for ladybugs?

Ladybugs, particularly the common species, do not exhibit parental care after the eggs are laid. The female lays clusters of eggs on the undersides of leaves, typically near aphid colonies, to ensure a food source for the larvae upon hatching. Once the eggs hatch, the larvae are independent and must find food and shelter on their own. This lack of parental involvement is typical in many insect species, including ladybugs.


Is it safe for ladybugs to eat bread?

Ladybugs primarily feed on small insects like aphids, not on bread. While they may consume bread if no other food source is available, it is not a natural or healthy part of their diet. To ensure their well-being, it is best to provide ladybugs with their preferred food sources.
