subject: Lady Bug Halloween Outfits [print this page] Adult women as well as girls of all ages have been choosing lady bug Halloween outfits over other costumes for many years and that trends persists to this very day. What could possibly be the reason for that?
I suspect that the reason that lady bug Halloween outfits are in such high demand is due to the fact that they are probably the only insects, other than perhaps butterflies, which do not send the great majority of women and girls screaming of either fear or repulsion. But that is no wonder because lady bugs with their bright colors are so very cute.
Lady bugs, however, are also loved by farmers for being so helpful to agriculture. The fact is that when it comes to eating, there is nothing ladylike about lady bugs as they voraciously gobble up other small insect which eat plant, especially aphids which have been known to destroy entire crops. In other words, lady bugs are beneficial to farmers because they eat other bugs which eat crops. As a matter of fact, a lady bug whose lifespan is about five or six weeks, can consume as many as 5,000 aphids or more.
Scientists have thus far identified approximately 6,000 different species of lady bugs around the world and they are not all so very cute or so very helpful. Furthermore, lady bugs have been classified as beetles. And some beetles, as you may or may not know, sustain themselves by eating plants. That means that these beetles or other species of lady bugs are actually considered to be harmful to agriculture because they eat the crops planted by hardworking farmers.
Ladybugs' vivid colors and vibrant spots are attractive to the human eye but they serve as protective characteristics that repel predators. "No accounting for good taste" I always say and it certainly applies here.
