These little creatures are quite the sight, with their bold red or orange shells covered in black spots. They are tiny, round and have six short legs to scurry around with. And if you look very closely, you might even see their tiny black antennas twitching in the breeze.  \nFrom that breeze, our spotted friends might flutter off to their homes. Ladybugs are found all around the world and they live in a variety of places including forests, fields, grasslands and even your own backyard.  \nThey love to munch on aphids, mealybugs and other small insects, making them a gardener's best friend. Next time you see a ladybug, remember, it could be on a mission to protect your garden from pests!  \nSpeaking of missions, ladybugs have quite the journey from birth to adulthood. Their life cycle is made up of four stages-egg, larva, pupa and adult. The mother ladybug lays her eggs on a leaf, where they hatch into larvae that look like tiny alligators! These larvae then transform into pupae before emerging as the spotted beauties we know and love.  \nJust like the brave knights of old, these spotted beauties have their own armor. Their bright colors and spots warn predators that they taste bad, which helps keep them safe. Some types of ladybugs even play dead to trick predators!
