Best Answer

A. They are not harmful to humans. Ladybugs are not poisonous to humans. However, they can have toxic effects on some animals. Ladybugs have a foul odor which deters some predators from eating them and their bright colors also help as a deterrent. In nature, red and orange, are warning colors that indicate to another animal or insect that the potential "lunch item" might not be a good choice. Lady bugs are widely used as an "organic" insect predator and are considered a beneficial insect.
