The Ladybird Beetle is the correct name for a ladybug and are not insects but are beetles. Worldwide there are nearly 5,000 different kinds of ladybugs of which 400 are in North America. The Convergent Lady Beetle is the most common beneficial species of Ladybirdbeetle in North America.
The life cycle of all Lady Bugs are mainly the same. The eggs are laid in the spring. When they hatch the larvae feed for several weeks and then pupate into adults. During the winter they hibernate or who have died in the crash. Spring wakes to feed and lay more eggs again.
As a form of biological pest control Lady Bugs are widely used and most famous. In addition to eating their favorite food is aphids mites, bowls,whiteflies, mealybugs and most other soft insects. They are known for cabbage moths, Boll worm, tomato horn worms and worms eat broccoli. These bugs will eat up to 1,000 aphids in its life, both in their larval stages and adults.
The most common complaint against the Lady Bug is that when they are released they fly away and let the aphids have their feast with your roses and tomato plants. But in reality only a part of your liberation will venture out, the rest will eat all the aphidscan find and then maybe fly.
