Hope its a she and she uses the protien to lay eggs. Larvae eat more than adults.

As a child we we told it was a sign of good luck if a lady bug comes to you.

In this case it looks to be true.

LOL stung by a lady bug

you are very lucky it was not a butterfly .. butterfly venom is deadly

 

[vein5]

yup in the midwest they bite but there are two kinds, the orange redish ones do bite hard lol

I think what you are referring to is the Asian Beetle(Harmonia axyridis) imported and released to control aphids in soy bean crops. Although they look like a lady bug they are a bit different. They dont sting, they bite just about anything they land on. Unlike common lady bugs that can bite but rarely does......

just saw the same ladybug again today!, thought she meet her demise to the light but guess i was wrong. she only has 2 dots on here and is very bright red... would be sweet if it was a she and she laid eggs!!! ... dont see nearly as many thrips as last week... gotta love mother nature!

crazy just walked in my room today and saw a lady bug or an Asian beetle in the room...first time i have ever seen a bug in the room if i have no problems with other bugs the lady bug will not harm anything correct???

 

[Alexander Supertramp]

Common Lady Bug or Asian variety, they are both beneficial to your garden and will do no harm.....

True red Wild Lady Bugs are a marvelous thing. But those orange hussies are imposters and no ladies. Slutroaches. cn
