Ladybug, ladybug, ladybu-u-ug

Ladybug, ladybug, ladybu-u-ug

 

Let's go find a ladybug

They live in gardens, weeds, and shrubs

There are 5000 species worldwide

The number of spots identifies the kind

Ladybugs are beetles with six legs

Ladybugs can be yellow, orange, pink, brown, black, white, blue or red

Ladybug, ladybug, ladybu-u-ug

 

Ladybugs have two sets of wings

Antennae help them smell, touch, and taste things

Ladybugs chew from side to side

If it's cold or dark, they might not fly

Ladybugs roll over and play dead

Ladybugs release a chemical that tastes terrible in self-defense

 

Ladybugs have important jobs

Eating aphids that destroy our crops

We need lots of different kinds

But some species are now hard to find

Ladybugs, they need us to conserve

Ladybugs, we will protect your habitats and take care of the Earth

 

Ladybug, ladybug, ladybu-u-ug

Ladybug, ladybug, ladybu-u-ug

Ladybug, ladybug, ladybug-u-u-ug

Ladybugs!
