Ladybird Beetles (Conccinellidae Magnifica)

The Ladybird beetle is common in the United States and world, I added the little bug because it's beautiful not only to the US and the World, but Alabama. The little bug is a great addition to gardens but not homes because they eat pesky bugs from plants that need them. Some plants you grow in your garden need lady bugs to eat the bugs on the leaves and branches. Some garden centers sell Ladybird beetles for gardeners to eat bugs, but other places don't need the little button type bugs. Eventhough I call Ladybird beetles bugs, they aren't true bugs by a Entomologist, true bugs being (Hemiptera). They are found in woody areas near grassy places. They are very beautiful and come in colors like yellow, orange and a reddish orange with one to many spots per each wing. There are many resources online to find out more about Ladybird beetles because they are a common subject among gardeners and individuals wanting to get them out of their house because they burrow and nest in wooden places.
