There once was a mad man called Trump

  Who had a big rump 

      

                                       

 He built a great wall that wasn't so tall 

  So he had to go to the dump

A Ladybug’s Amazing Life

Ladybugs use their bright colours to warn that they are poisonous and that they are toxic.  Insect-eating birds and other animals learn to avoid meals that come in red and black, and are more likely to steer clear of a ladybug lunch.  This is just one of their adaptations that help them survive.  Read on to find out more...

Habitat

Lady bugs live in variety of habitats,including forest,fields, grassland , gardens, bushes  and even people's house they also like to live in frankley school bush. They also like to live on leaves that are close to heaps of aphids.

Predators

Ladybugs are not commonly eaten by birds or other vertebrates, who avoid them because they exude a distasteful fluid and commonly play dead to avoid being preyed upon. However, several insects, such as assassin bugs and stink bugs, as well as spiders and toads may commonly kill lady beetles

Protection

Ladybugs have many interesting means of protection. Their red, orange, and black coloration warns birds that they would not make a very tasty meal.  Birds learn that insects that are red, black, and yellow usually sting or taste bad.
