The Seven-Spot Ladybug Ladybugs live all over Europe and North America. There are over 3,000 different species of ladybugs in the world. They all have black spots and are very cute beetles. The 7-spot ladybug is one of the most common ladybugs.
Gardeners love ladybugs because they eat a lot of insects that hurt gardens and crops.
They will eat aphids, mealybugs, spider mites and the eggs of other insects. Not all ladybugs are really ladies. The female ladybug lays tiny eggs in plants in the spring. Females lay from 300 to 1,500 eggs during their lifetime. After a few days the eggs hatch.
