Participating again in Sweet Shot Tuesday over with Darcy and Life with my 3 boybarians. Interesting Ladybug facts... - a female ladybug lays more than 1000 eggs in her lifetime - while flying, a ladybug beats wings 85 times a second - while eating, ladybugs chew from side to side and not up and down like humans - ladybugs produce a chemical substance that smells and tastes horrible...it protects them from predators and birds - a ladybug bites if you squeeze it, but the bite doesn't hurt - the spots on the body of the ladybug fade, as it gets older - in winters, ladybugs do not eat and survive on their own stored fat - the size of a male ladybug is smaller than a female - in many countries, like Iran and Switzerland, ladybugs are considered auspicious and symbols of good luck - ladybugs are found in many colours, some have spots, while some do not - ladybugs even use their feet to smell - average life expectancy is 2-3 years - there are more than 300 types of ladybugs in North America
