Ladybugs live in fields and yards, especially in gardens and on plants.
As fall approaches, it may eat some pollen which supplies fat for winter hibernation. Ladybugs have hard shells that protect their wings and deter predators from eating them. Ladybugs also play dead when in danger because many predators won t eat an insect that doesn t move. Most people know this insect by its nickname, the ladybug. Entomologists refer to it by the technical name, ladybird beetle.
