Like many have said earlier, Ladybirds or Ladybugs as they are known here, are beneficial insects. Without them, our gardens would be overrun with pests far worse.

Man, I see spiders and I change direction. Always joke with my friends that it's good all of us are afraid of spiders. Otherwise I'm sure there would be the odd asshole who would pick up a spider and throw it at us. Posted via RS Mobile | |

I hate spiders too. I remember i was about to go to sleep one time and i turned around to a big house spider running across my bed. I squished it with my remote and proceeded to sleep on the couch  Posted via RS Mobile | |

A human caused famine pales in comparison to what mother nature can do. I'm not suggesting ladybugs could put us in peril but we shouldn't just be shrugging off all the various species predicted to become extinct within 100 years.

That's because when people see bugs they freak out and kill them. When you see a ladybug, just pick it up and put it outside.

I work outside, so I see them fairly often in yards and stuff. I also see them around my house here and there. I saw one the other day that had a black shell, with red dots.
I wish the article had pictures of what native Ladybugs look like. that way I know which ladybugs to leave alone and which are the foreign ones to crushhh!  (kidding of course)
