Ladybugs are a family of insects from the order Coleoptera. It brings together around 6,000 species distributed throughout the world. Ladybugs are among the insects used by humans: many species in fact feed on aphids, and are therefore used in biological control as a natural insecticide. The number of spots on the ladybug depends on the species, which it can be a key to determining. It does not depend on one's age, contrary to popular belief.
