They are from the scientific family Coccinellidae. True bugs are insects, such as cicadas and aphids, that are members of the scientific order Hemiptera. Just like other insects, <b>there are both male and female ladybugs<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_a_male_ladybug_mean\"><\/span>What does a male ladybug mean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is little to distinguish male from female ladybugs. When you see a pair, <b>the male ladybug is smaller than the female. During mating, the male grips the hard wings of the female, remaining on top of her for up to two hours. Under a microscope, the male ladybugs attributes become visible.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_you_tell_if_a_ladybug_is_a_boy_or_a_girl\"><\/span>How can you tell if a ladybug is a boy or a girl?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The ladybug (Figure 1), or ladybird, is the common name given to beetles in the Coccinellidae family. This is misleading because not all ladybugs are ladies; <b>they can be either female or male. It is difficult to determine the sex of a ladybug, but females tend to be larger than males.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Contents What do you call a male ladybug?Is there such thing as a male ladybug?How do you tell a male ladybug from a female?Is there such a thing as a male ladybug?What does a male ladybug mean?How can you tell if a ladybug is a boy or a girl?
