Ladybird beetles, also known as ladybugs, all belong to the beetle family Coccinellidae. Ladybugs come in a variety of colors and sizes. Brightly colored species (like orange and black) are toxic—they exude a small, yellow drop of hemolymph (insect blood) from their leg joints that tastes bad to predators, such as birds and lizards, who can see color.
