fist of all it is known as an 'open' circulatory system.. that means the circulatory fluid (hemolymph) is not contained in vessels. insects have a dorsal vessel with a sort of heart (but is not like that of mammals). insects only transport nutrients and waste and NOT oxygen. for this reason, their circulatory fluid, hemoplymph, is greenish in colour. the cavity in which the hemolymph opens is known as the haemoceal. hemplymph passes into the haemoceal through openings called ostia (sing. ostium)

True ladybugs are beneficial. I have read that the imported Asian Beetle is also beneficial. The AB is larger and more aggresive at feeding than the true native LB. ABs have become pests in the respect that they will move into a house thru cracks, under doors, etc. and do not leave in the spring. If they get into your walls you can only use herbicides, preferably put in by a professial who is familiar with this insect.

In the Insect Kingdom they are at the top of the food chain as they are predators. They are insectiverous, that is they eat other insects namely Aphids (those little green or black bugs that suck the sap out of ornamental shrubs like roses )
They are still around, there's just not as many of them due to pesticides and other environmental issues. Many people don't realize lady bugs are actually a good thing; they eat the aphids that destroy house plants and certain crops.
You put them in a Jar. but not in a so sunny place. Put Grass,Mites,Scales, and Aphids in the Jar. Always put paper over the jar and put holes threw it. But not so big holes, because they can escape.
You have to make a natural environment, so put top soil on the bottom of the cage, put grass on top of that, and find a place that sells aphids, which are the ladybug's food source. They love aphids. They are small green insects that are inferior to ladybugs.
or if you do not have bugs or a water source they like rasins and for water dip a cottan ball in water change the water every two days and clean and put in new rasins every week.
There is no specific answer. Some ladybugs have two dots, while others have 16 dots!
