Is all ladybugs boys or girls?
There are boy ladybugs and girl ladybugs. It's almost impossible for the average person to tell them apart. But here are some clue that might help. First, females are usually larger than males. Second, if you observe one ladybug riding atop another ladybug, they are in the process of mating. A male ladybug will grab the female's elytra (hard wings) and holds on tight.
They come in all different colors, too. Reds, yellows, orange, gray, black, brown and even pink.
if you put them in water, they do some magic really quickly the male is on top of the surface and the female is under water u see this rodish thing coming out of them and whala! if you get them out of water they might have babies.

NO! Ladybugs do get water from plants they eat, but at least provide tea, water, or sugar water. DO NOT make the sugar water too thick when you boil it. Simply heat it till the sugar goes away.
Well if you are wanting to kill a lady bug, I don't think it is going to matter if it is non-toxic or not. You can smush them with your foot. You might try one of those sticky things that hang down that you can use to catch flies with.

Yes, ladybugs can eat breadcrumbs, particularly if the Coccinellidae family members in question are herbivorous.

Some species will eat pollen and therefore take better to such indoor food source options as breadcrumbs.
Do ladybugs hibernate in winter?
ladybugs eat aphids, which probably aren't around after a frost, so the likely answer is that they do not eat in the winter.
In the winter ladybugs will feast on eggs, tomatoes, carrots, yolk, beef, pork, seafood, fish, vegetable oils, fish, chicken, soybeans, apple peels, wholegrain foods, almonds, lemons, watermelons, liver, capsicums, grapefruit, oranges, kiwi fruit, and also aphids -but aphids are only around during summer/spring-.
The Asian lady beetle, or Harmonia axyridis, is known to bite. It is also known to infest houses near the fall, to prepare itself for hibernation.

All bugs are invertebrates meaning they have no backbone. This mean that vertebrates means having backbone. All bugs have no backbone, but have a exoskeleton."Exo" means out of. So bugs all have skeletons outside their body instead of the outside. Glad I helped!
Yes other animals do prey upon ladybugs. Little pesticides like mantis and birds may harm the ladybug.They also avoid that nasty chemical smell the ladybug produces to warn or protect themselves from an other predator it may come upon.
