What kinds of ladybugs are there?!

There are over 5,000 different species of ladybugs out there! They come in many different sizes and shapes. The most familiar one to us would be the lady beetles or seven-spotted ladybugs found in North America with very shiny red bodies with black spots.




Another popular kind of lady bug is called the Convergent Ladybug. These ladybugs are orange! Can you believe it?! Convergent Ladybugs are very similar to the seven-spotted ladybugs because they are oval, they have black spots, and they eat aphids. The only differences really are that Convergent Ladybugs are orange and they are found mostly in pacific coastal states near the beach!


The C-Mac ladybugs are also popular too! These ladybugs are pink with black spots (how cute!!). These kind of ladybugs are said to be very fast and very good at keeping away those pesky plant-eating insects!
