A. There are lots of animals and insects that prey upon ladybugs. Some insect-eating birds, like martins, swallows, swifts and crows. Insect-eating insects prey on ladybugs like dragonflies, assassin bugs, parasitic wasps, and ants. Other predators include tree frogs, anoles, parasites, fungus and mites.
Some beetles are parasitic while others hunt soft-bodied insects such as caterpillars and grubs. The dung beetle eats exactly what its name suggests. The lady beetle (better known as a ladybug) feeds off of lice-sized aphids on plants, keeping human vegetation safe from these types of destructive insects. But then there are beetle species like the carpet beetle, which can invade your home and eat through your upholstery, clothing and more.
