A. They are not harmful to humans. Ladybugs are not poisonous to humans. However, they can have toxic effects on some animals. Ladybugs have a foul odor which deters some predators from eating them and their bright colors also help as a deterrent. In nature, red and orange, are warning colors that indicate to another animal or insect that the potential "lunch item" might not be a good choice. Lady bugs are widely used as an "organic" insect predator and are considered a beneficial insect.
Insects with more than 6 legs?
None. Insects always have 3 pairs of legs. That is one of the features that defines the word insect.
Creatures such as spiders, centipedes, millipedes and scorpions are no longer considered insects, although they were in Carolus Linnaeus's original classification system, as were allmembers of the phylum Arthropoda (which basically means "jointed leg"). Somewhere in the mid 1800s, zoologists - specifically entomologists - decided that only 6-legged animals would be included in the classification Insecta, and would here-ever-after be classified as Hexapoda. The spiders, et al, were dropped into their own categories.
As for the word "bug", it too is a specifically defined entomological term and does not refer to everything that crawls. It refers to only two suborders of the order Hemiptera, and does not include such well known "bugs" as the ladybug, the doodlebug or the sow bug (all of which, by the way, are insects).
Coccinellidae is a family of beetles, known variously as ladybirds (UK, Ireland, Australia, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, India, Malta, parts of Canada), or ladybugs (North America). Scientists increasingly prefer the names ladybird beetles or lady beetles, as these insects are neither birds nor bugs. Lesser-used names include ladyclock, lady cow, and lady fly
Coccinellids are small insects, ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm (0.04 to 0.4 inches), and are commonly yellow, orange, or scarlet with small black spots on their wing covers, with black legs, head and antennae. A very large number of coccinellid species are mostly, or entirely, black, grey, or brown and may be difficult for non-entomologists to recognize as coccinellids. Conversely, there are many small beetles that are easily mistaken for coccinellids, such as the tortoise beetles.
What kind of beetles eat leaves?
There isn't just one kind of leaf beetle; there are numerous types, including the cottonwood leaf beetle, the imported willow leaf beetle, the elm leaf beetle, cereal leaf beetle and asparagus leaf beetle. Leaf beetles attack shrubs, trees, flowers and plants. The leaf beetle is considered a nuisance pest because it mostly causes aesthetic plant damage when it feeds. However, if it feeds on a tree that is in poor health it can cause the tree to die.
