By Pat Kite
Are Ladybugs all ladies?There are boy ladybugs and girl ladybugs and they eat huge numbers of pest insects. Hundreds of years ago, European farmers were grateful that these tiny insects protected their grapevines, so they called it "our lady's beetle," believing it had been sent from heaven.
L. Patricia Kite writes books about insects and plants. Her newest book is Ladybug Facts and Lore, available from Amazon.com.
