The length of all types of ladybirds is less than 1/4 inch (0.635 cm), with oval or round shape, and has 6 short legs.

Ladybugs are usually very bright, like red or orange, and sometimes have their winged patterns, such as black spots. The color and pattern is thought to alert the predator to the unpleasant taste and toxicity it has. Sometimes ladybirds also have no pattern at all with yellow, brown or black wings.

During this time, the ladybird is known as an environmentally friendly insect that is able to help farmers in overcoming the attack of aphids. During his lifetime, a ladybug can prey up to 1000 small insects.

Ladybugs include the order of coleoptera (beetles) that metamorphosed perfectly from the egg, larval, cocoon to adult phases. Female beetles can spawn 20-30 eggs per day or 1000 eggs in 40-50 days. Koksi beetle larvae food is the same as its parent food.

Head bent down. The position will help him eat small animals such as aphids. In his head there is a pair of lower jaws to help him hold his prey while eating. He will eat the lice by sucking the bodily fluids of his prey. Throughout his life, a ladybug can spend 1,000 heads of aphids.
On the short legs, there are microscopic soft hairs. His hair produced a sticky oily material, so he could walk and stick in difficult places like in glass or on the ceiling. Called the ladybird a possibility because of its size and shield hard. However this beetle is not at all from the nation of Ladybugs (Hemiptera).
