People call lady beetles many different names. Ladybird is the name used in the British Commonwealth for this group of beetles that often is red with black spots. In the United States of America, and in Canada (even though it is part of the British Commonwealth), people call these beetles ladybugs. Scientists often use the name lady beetle. In science, lady beetles are in the family Coccinellidae.
What lady beetles look like

Most people know lady beetles as small, round, red beetles with black spots on their backs. Not all lady beetles are red, and not all red lady beetles have spots. Some lady beetles are very little and are black and hairy. Other lady beetles are red or yellow but have black stripes. Some red lady beetles have no spots or stripes at all!

One of the most common lady beetles in much of North America is the seven-spotted lady beetle. Scientists call it Coccinella septempunctata. The name means (sept) seven (punctata) holes, because it looks like the beetle has seven black holes in its back.

Each ladybird is different and many have individual charming characteristics.
