Field Notes

Description:

Coccinellidae are commonly yellow, orange, or red with small black spots on their wing covers, with black legs, heads and antennae. However such colour patterns vary greatly.
The majority of coccinellid species are generally considered useful insects, because many species prey on herbivorous homopterans such as aphids or scale insects, which are agricultural pests.

Habitat:

A ladybugs natural habitat is all types of vegetation that harbors its food, other insects and their eggs. They often hibernate in dense populations and during hibernation, ladybugs feed on their stored fat. Ladybugs live in a variety of habitats, including forests, fields, grasslands, gardens, and even in people's houses.
