the effort!

and some species have no spots at all.
Size
Length: .08 to .4 inches (2 to 10 millimeters), depending
on species
Habitat

worldwide, but especially in
temperate climates. They can
often be seen in forests,
gardens, weed patches, and
vacant lots full of weeds.
Nutrition
There is nothing ladylike about a ladybug's appetite: an adult
may eat up to 75 aphids per day! They also eat other harmful
insects like fruit flies, thrips, and mites. Not all ladybugs are
carnivorous, but the predatory ones are helpful to gardeners,
because they do not damage crops while filling their bellies.
