The ladybug or ladybird beetle is a type of beetle. In the middle ages, a species of this cute bug was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and were called the ‘Beetle of Our Lady.’ That's how the ladybug’s name originated.

The bright red ladybug with black markings is popular, but it's not the only kind. Some ladybugs have yellow or red markings. Ladybugs feed on farm pests like mites, scales, and aphids; farmers love them as they help eliminate those pests with zero pesticide use.
