Ladybugs are insects in the Coccinellidae family of the beetle order, Coleoptera.  They are characterized by their oval‐shaped body and distinctive coloring. Although these insects are commonly called “ladybugs,” they are members of the beetle order, Coleoptera.  The Coleoptera are unique from other orders in that they undergo complete metamorphosis (that is, have larva and pupa stages in their life cycle), and their forewings have modified into a hardened cover that protects the insect.  Other frequently used common names are ladybirds or ladybird beetles. Both adult and larval ladybugs are known primarily as predators of aphids but they also prey on many other soft‐bodied insects and insect eggs.  Many of these are agricultural pest such as scale insects, mealy-bugs, spider mites and eggs of the Colorado Potato Beetle and European Corn Borer.  A few ladybugs feed on plant and pollen mildews and many ladybugs supplement their meat diet with pollen. Ladybugs are not commonly eaten by birds or other vertebrates, who avoid them because they exude a distasteful fluid and commonly play dead to avoid being preyed upon. However, several insects, such as assassin bugs and stink bugs, as well as spiders and toads may commonly kill lady beetles.

Undoubtedly, one of the quirkiest sights in nature is the gangly retreat of an Australian frilled lizard. Frilled lizards, or “frillnecks,” are members of the dragon  family that live in the tropical and warm temperate forests and savanna woodlands of northern Australia.         When this unique creature feels threatened, it rises on its hind legs, opens its yellow-colored mouth, unfurls the colorful, pleated skin flap that encircles its head, and hisses. If an attacker is not intimidated by these antics, the lizard  simply turns tail, mouth and frill open,   and bolts, legs splaying left and right. It continues its deliberate run without stopping or looking back until it reaches the safety of a tree.         They spend most of their lives in the trees, but descend occasionally to feed on ants and small lizards. Other menu items include spiders, cicadas, termites, and small mammals.             Females lay 8 to 23 tiny eggs in an underground nest, and hatchlings emerge fully independent and capable of hunting and utilizing their frill. There is no certain argument to report the frilled lizard’s life    naturally. Their lifespan in the wild is unknown, but specimens in captivity have lived 20 years.
