Expert Solution
Introduction

Ladybugs belong to the phylum arthropods and are natural killers for many herbivorous insects. They are found worldwide and are known to benefit farmers since they feed on aphids and other herbivorous insects. A female ladybug eats around 5,000 aphids in its lifetime to support their nutrition requirements. They are also adapted to survive the environment and undergo changes to address climatic conditions.
