Description
Ladybug/bird belong to the beetle group, their family name is "Coccinellidae"History,
The name "ladybird" originated in Britain where the insects became known as "Our Lady's bird" or the "Lady beetle". Queen Mary was often depicted wearing a red cloak in early paintings and the spots of the seven spot ladybird (the most common in Europe) were said to symbolise her seven joys and seven sorrows.
Food source,
Coccinellids are typically predators of Hemiptera such as aphids and scale insects, though conspecific larvae and eggs can also be important resources when alternative prey are scarce.
