Did You Know!!

Most ladybugs are predators with ravenous appetites for aphids and other soft-bodied insects. Adult ladybugs will eat several hundred aphids before mating and laying eggs on the infested plants. Ladybug larvae feed on aphids as well. Some ladybug species prefer other pests, like mites, white flies, or scale insects. A few even feed on fungus or mildew. One small subfamily of ladybugs (Epilachninae) includes leaf-eating beetles like the Mexican bean beetle. A small number of beetles in this group are pests, but by far the majority of ladybugs are beneficial predators of pest insects.

Life Cycle:

Ladybugs undergo complete metamorphosis in four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Depending on the species, female ladybugs may lay up to 1,000 eggs within a few months from spring to early summer. Eggs hatch within four days.

Ladybug larvae resemble tiny alligators, with elongated bodies and bumpy skin. Most species go through four larval instars. The larva attaches itself to a leaf, and pupates. Ladybug pupae are usually orange. Within 3 to 12 days, the adult emerges, ready to mate and feed.

Catching and studying ladybugs can be a really fun experience and it is also a great way for children to get out and explore their environment as well as learn about nature and learn to respect all the tiny forms of life in it. Unless you are an entymologist (one who studies insects), please put the ladybugs back when you are done checking them out so they can get back to cleaning up pests and continuing their life cycle.
These techniques for catching ladybugs below are tried and true and are meant to help your exploration of these little creatures be a productive one. You never know how many ladybug species you may have living in your area. If you find success and get pictures of these beautiful little creatures we would love to have your ladybug photos on our site!

Visual search for ladybugs
A good visual search for ladybugs is probably the most natural way and typical way people begin searching for ladybugs. It’s fun to get outside and start observing nearby plants and foliage to see if you can find these wonderful little insects. However if these are less common in your area or you are not used to seeing ladybugs, this particular technique for finding them may require some knowledge of their biology.

Beating – Branches or plants to catch ladybugs
You’ll be amazed how many interesting things you will collect in addition to ladybugs using this technique. The simple process involves first getting or making a device for collecting ladybugs such as a net, umbrella or a homemade beating tray (as depicted below). You then beat tree branches and vegetation and let the debris and insects collect on your device.
