Coccinellidae

Example:Since aphids are a pest to plants, ladybugs are beneficial insects to have around.

Definition:A small sap-sucking insect that ladybugs typically prey on

Example:Ladybugs are generally not seen as predators in the traditional sense, instead, they are seen as controllers of other pest populations.

Definition:An animal that preys on other animals, which is generally not the case for ladybugs, as they are mainly herbivores in their larval stage
