Ladybugs are well-known insects that are most recognized for their distinctive black and red spotted, colorful exoskeletons. There are over 5,000 different species of ladybugs, each with their own unique coloring, size and pattern of spots! Ladybugs can be found crawling amongst leaves, foraging for aphids, in meadows, farms, forests, gardens, grasslands and even your very own backyard.
