Coccinellidae
Lady bug on a leaf. Found outside of my school.
Mostly found wherever it has it's food. The ladybug is a herbivore and eats leaves, most farmers hate them because they ruin their crops.
This lady beetle does not eat leaves. It eats aphids and other small arthropods (mites, larvae,etc.) as well as pollen. They are important predators of aphids.
