After reading, you'll be a LADYBUG MASTER!





Generally, ladybugs are small and hemispherical in imago.
The color of their body is really various such as red, black, bitter orange, yellow, and brown.

They make pretense to be dead when they receive something stimulative physically; moreover, they emit yellow liquid, which smells bad and tastes bitter, for beating back their enemy.
Also, the color of their body seems the warning color.
