Yet more facts! This is something I didn't know about ladybugs ( see bold ).
The Lady Bug (Beetle) was introduced to the
United States by the U. S. Department of Agriculture
as a biological control agent. The tree-dwelling
insect can live up to three years. They are a predator
of aphids and other pests. They do not bite, sting, carry
human disease or feed on wood, clothing or food.
A male emperor moth can smell a female emperor moth
up to 7 miles away!
Some caterpillars and moths avoid being eaten because
they resemble bird droppings.
