The more proper name of lady bugs are lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). So males or females are lady beetles.

Actually, the name does not refer to the sex of the insect but stems from the story about a town whose crops were being devastated by insect pests. After a lot of praying there appeared a swarm of Ladybugs that took care of the problem. They were then referred to as the 'Beetles of Our Lady' which over time became the modern form. If you want to know more there is a site in geocities that you should be able to reach using 'LADYBUGFACTS' or by just using Yahoo.

Coccinellidae is a family participants of beetles, conventional variously as ladybirds (English English, Australian English, South African English), ladybugs (North American English) or woman beetles (favourite by ability of scientists). in case you prefer to call a male one some thing else you ought to declare male beetle of the observed type! after all that's!
