Although originally from Australia, the Cardinal Ladybug now lives all over the world…well, except Antarctica! Red body, black spots and brown legs make up their color scheme, but their wings are covered with tiny hairs. They were brought to Texas to help with pest control and have made themselves right at home. They do love to eat, as do all Ladybugs, but their favorite meal is a small bug that eats citrus and native trees. So, our local farmers must love these ladies! Enjoy creating with...

The Fifteen-spotted Lady Beetle’s habitat stretches from Canada to Texas and across most of the US, east to west. It can be found in several different colors such as cream, yellow, brownish red and even purple! They primarily feed on aphids that are found in trees. Keep looking up!
