When the cells are ready, they start moving toward the top of your epidermis. This trip takes about 2 weeks to a month. As newer cells continue to move up, older cells near the top die and rise to the surface of your skin. What you see on your hands (and everywhere else on your body) are really dead skin cells.
Epilachninae, a sub-species of ladybugs, are small round beetles that are orange-colored and spotted. They are considered to be the vegetarians of the ladybug world, since they eat fungi like mushrooms and mildew. Some even eat leaves.
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.
