ladybird beetles


Can there be a more adorable beetle than a lady bug? This is one bug that you wouldn’t mind crawling on the palm of your hand.  These bugs or should we say beetles, are scientifically called Coccinellidae and belong to the family of beetles. In North America they are known as ladybugs and in U.K. they are called ladybirds (because they can fly like birds). But the common names preferred by the entomologists are lady beetles or ladybird beetles. Other uncommon names for these bugs are lady fly, God’s cow, ladyclock and lady cow.
