Ladybugs are insects of the beetle family recognizable by the red colour of their elytra. This colour, which is also a natural defence, is at the origin of their name which comes from the Latin coccinus - ''scarlet''. Contrary to popular belief, the spots on its wings do not give its age but represent an identification of the species. Ladybugs are very popular with gardeners today in their fight against aphids.Wild Life in the Garden - Visit majestic white-tailed deer in the heart of the forests, explore the savannah alongside the mighty Sumatran tiger or climb snow-capped peaks to look for the snow leopard.
