Ladybird Facts...

• There are more than 5,000 ladybird species. They are also known as lady beetles or ladybugs
• Ladybirds usually eat plant lice such as aphids, scale insects, mealybugs, and mites.
• Dots on the ladybirds have nothing to do with the years of living. Some ladybirds have up to 22 dots on the back.
• Average lifespan of these cute bugs is three years.
• Some people believe that ladybirds can predict the weather. If they fall off your hand it would rain, if they fly away the weather would be fine.
• Some people consider seeing them or having them land on one's body to be a sign of good luck to come, and that killing them brings bad luck.
