It actually surprised me to learn that anything eats ladybugs at all! Partly as I assumed everything on the planet would look at them and like I would think ‘aww aren’t they cute’ But of course, life doesn’t work like that and the harsh realities of living out in the natural world certainly don’t! So […]
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, […]
Can ladybugs fly? Is one question. Sure they can, and the way in which ladybugs fold their wings is really an amazing feat of nature. I can’t think of many other creatures that fold their wings in quite the same way and then draw them in underneath a protective hood. But to look at them […]
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. […]
Will ladybugs stay in my garden? There are plenty of reasons why you would want Ladybugs in your garden, they’re one of every gardener’s best friends for keeping cherished plants, flora, and fauna safe from unwanted pests. Not only that but they’re highly prized in agricultural sectors for the same natural benefits they bring with […]
We think of Ladybugs as being cute, brightly colored beetles that fly around the garden doing good things for our gardens like little fairies bringing us good luck and joy. What we forget is that it’s a big world out there and it can be a ferocious environment to be in … even for a […]
