Ladybugs

Ladybug Identification

Did you know that ladybugs are actually a type of beetle? Easily identifiable, ladybugs have a bright red shell with black dots and a black head with white markings. While most of the time they remain outside, it’s common to find them inside during colder months and early spring. 

Ladybugs actually are pest control experts of their own, as they feed on other insects. Mites, mealybugs, aphids, and other scale insects make up their diet. While they don’t pose a threat to humans, ladybugs can sometimes aggravate asthma or allergies, so their removal may be necessary to keep a healthy, happy home.
