is ladybird a bug?

Answer 1

Ladybird Beetles are also known as Ladybugs and Lady Beetles.

Answer 2

No, it's not a bug. Bugs belong to the order Hemiptera, which includes some rather diverse species (though you'll be pleased to know that stink bugs are indeed bugs). The ladybird/ladybug belongs to the order Coleoptera, and so is a beetle. It generally has colourful elytra (hardened outer wings), though many other beetles also have striking colouration.

Answer 3

Ladybugs=Ladybirds

Answer 4

Ladybirds (Commonwealth English), also known as ladybugs (American English, Canadian English) or lady beetles (some scientists favor this) are a family, Coccinellidae ("little sphere"), of beetles; the name is thought to allude to the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Catholic faith. Ladybirds are found worldwide, with over 4,500 species described, more than 450 native to North America alone.

Answer 5

in entomology a 'bug' belongs to the family Hemiptera which includes plant hoppers, circadas, leaf hoppers, tree hoppers and aphids. they are united by the presence of both hard and soft bits on their forewings.
Ladybirds are Coccinellidae within the beetle (Coleoptera) which have the forewings entirely hard and which forms a cover over the hindwings when not in use.
All of which means, no a ladybird is not a bug. its a beetle.

Answer 6

A ladybird is the prettiest of all the beetles!

Answer 7

no, it is actually a type of beetle.

Answer 9

Coccinellidae is a family of beetles, known variously as ladybirds (Commonwealth English), ladybugs (North American English) or lady beetles (preferred by scientists). The word "lady" in the name is thought to allude to the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Catholic faith. Coccinellids are found worldwide, with over 4,500 species described, more than 450 native to North America alone. Coccinellids are small insects, ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm (0.04 to 0.4 inches), and are usually yellow, orange, or red with small black spots on their carapace, with black legs, head and feelers. As the family name suggests, they are usually quite round in shape. Because they are useful, colourful, and harmless to humans, coccinellids are typically considered cute even by people who hate most insects. Some people consider seeing them or having them land on one's body to be a sign of good luck to come, and that killing them presages bad luck.
