Ladybugs can be found quite easily, just look right outside in your backyard or garden. They can be found in the summer months when it's warm. Make sure to look in trees, plants, bushes, and your grass. In the winter, though, you might have to search a little harder. Insects, like the ladybug, hibernate during the harsh winter months.
Some ladybugs can survive all winter under several inches of snow.
Ladybugs are members of the Coccinellidae family. This beetle family includes more species than any other kind of animal in the whole world. Ladybugs actually have 2 sets of wings. The outer set, or the hard wings, protects the bottom, soft wings. The hard wings are called elytra.
