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.
