submerged leaves.

Ladybugs are insects in the Coccinellidae family of the beetle order, Coleoptera. They are characterized by their oval‐shaped
body and distinctive coloring.
Although these insects are commonly called “ladybugs,” they are members of the beetle order, Coleoptera. The
Coleoptera are unique from other orders in that they undergo complete metamorphosis (that is, have larva and pupa stages in
their life cycle), and their forewings have modified into a hardened cover that protects the insect. Other frequently used
common names are ladybirds or ladybird beetles.
Both adult and larval ladybugs are known primarily as predators of aphids but they also prey on many other soft ‐bodied
insects and insect eggs. Many of these are agricultural pest such as scale insects, mealybugs, spider mites and eggs of the
Colorado Potato Beetle and European Corn Borer. A few ladybugs feed on plant and pollen mildews and many ladybugs
supplement their meat diet with pollen.
Ladybugs are not commonly eaten by birds or other vertebrates, who avoid them because they exude a distasteful fluid
