Is a ladybug male or female? The word Ladybug brings to mind a female insect. It makes us think that these bugs are an all-female gender. If so, then how could they survive in this world and how would they reproduce? With all of these burning questions, let’s look at what this is all about. […]
There’s an urban myth about ladybugs that you can tell how long an adult ladybug will live by counting their spots. I started wondering how long do ladybugs live, and brought together a lot of data. Unfortunately, you can’t tell how long they’ll live by their spots. If you’ve ever found a 24-spotted Ladybug then […]
So you want plants that ladybugs love. Well luckily, I’m a really keen gardener too. and I do my best to plant flowers, plants, and other flora and fauna that I know my Ladybugs like. I call them ‘my Ladybugs‘ because the ones in my garden I kind of refer to as my friends. Plus, […]
We’ve all been there, you find a Ladybug, or so you think, then someone asks … “Is that actually a Ladybug?” You look on the internet and can’t find much out, except maybe a way of identifying the Ladybug … but of course, that’s only if it IS actually a Ladybug. I’m assuming you arrived […]
When I first started my research, I was a bit disappointed to find many false facts and incorrect statements about ladybugs, so I felt I had to put the record straight as much as I could with a ladybug frequently asked questions page.

I’ve also written about this in my article on the Ladybug Life Cycle, so if you want more information beyond just mating, then please head over there. However, this is a question often asked, so I thought I’d answer it separately. After all, Ladybugs are important to us! When Do Ladybugs Mate? Typically during May, […]
I write this not in any morbid sense, but because many mistake Ladybugs as being dead when in fact they could be far from it. This is a true story. I was once sitting on the bench in my backyard one summer and saw a Ladybug walking past a few feet away. Then it stopped. […]
We pay attention to a Ladybug if we happen to see one. Delighted by their bright shell, the facts, and folklore surrounding Ladybugs. Intrigued as to how many spots it might have. What we don’t realize is that there are millions of Ladybugs helping us out – every day, just by the very nature of […]
I’ve always been fascinated with ladybugs. There’s just something so simple about how they go about their daily business, and yet, their journey is a complicated one with a number of radically different life stages that almost rival that of the butterfly. We all (generally) love the look of Ladybugs, but we don’t all know […]
