I DONT KNOW IF YOU GUYS LIKE LADY BUGS BUT I THINK THEY ARE SO CUTE AND DID YOU KNOW THEY ARE ACTUALLY USEFUL TO OUR ENVIRONMENT.
THERE ARE ALOT OF INTERESTING THINGS THAT WE CAN LEARN ABOUT LADYBUGS. FOR INSTANCE THE RED AND BLACKCOLOR OF THE LADY BUG IS USED FOR PROTECTION, THE COLORS SCARE PREDATORS OFF BECAUSE THEY THINK THE LADYBUGS ARE POISONOUS. ALSO LADY BUGS KNOW HOW TO PLAY DEAD IN CASE OF DANGER. LADYBUGS LIVE IN A VARIETY OF PLACES SUCH AS TREES, SHRUBS, FIELDS, AND EVEN IN HOUSES.
