This small collection of beautiful countries are home to thousands of tropical islands. As a matter of fact, there are so many in the region that the Philippines alone is made up of more than 7,000 different ones.
Ladybugs belong to the Animalia Kingdom. They are a part of the Phylum Arthropoda. Their Class is Insecta. They belong to the order of Coleoptera, beetles, of course. Finally, their Family is that of the Coccinellidae. There are about 150 species of ladybugs in the United States, wow!
Ladybugs are a type of beetle and are therefore not a member of the insect order Hemiptera (i.e., True Bugs), which includes insects like aphids and cicadas, but not beetles, flies, ants, or bees. To reflect this classification, scientists sometimes call ladybugs âlady beetlesâ instead of their more common names.
