Ladybugs - Paperback

by Ashley Gish (Author)

Ladybugs are more than just pretty beetles with bright red shells and black spots--they're also fierce garden protectors. This zoology title, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, explores ladybugs' physical traits, habitats in gardens and fields worldwide, and diets that include aphids and other pests. Readers will learn about their complete metamorphosis from egg to adult and how their bright colors warn predators to stay away. Readers will also discover how ladybugs are celebrated in cultural stories and symbolism. Part of Creative Education's popular Amazing Animals series, this book supports elementary-aged readers with captions, on-page definitions, additional resources, and an index.
