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.
There are around 6,000 species of ladybugs worldwide, 98 of which can be found in Florida. Ladybugs are oval, small, often brightly-colored insects that are toxic to would-be predators. Ladybugs are considered beneficial because they typically eat plant pests, such as aphids. The beetleâs oval yellow eggs hatch larvae that have been described as looking âalligator-like.â Some larvae may excrete a white substance that makes them look similar to mealybugs (see picture below).
