Ladybugs Ladybugs eat bugs and they have wings. They have no defens but flying fast. Lots of ladybugs crawl. Also they can fly. When they don’t fly you cant see the wings. They have two big eyes. Some people think that ladybugs are lucky. They don’t hurt people and they are nice. I have a lot of ladybugs in our house. They like to live in sunny areas. When it gets cold you won’t see so many. Their colorful. Like yellow, bright red, white, red-orange with black spots. Also short antennas. As I said “ladybugs are good luck!”
