What do a laddybugs eat?

Ladybugs are voracious predators and feed primarily on aphids, which are small, sap-sucking insects that can cause significant damage to plants. Ladybugs can consume hundreds of aphids each day, making them beneficial insects in gardens and agricultural settings. In addition to aphids, ladybugs may also feed on other soft-bodied insects, such as mealybugs, spider mites, and whiteflies. Some species of ladybugs are even known to eat the eggs and larvae of other insects.
