It is very difficult to tell the difference between a male and female ladybug. Male ladybugs (or ladybirds) tend to be slightly smaller than females. Contrary to popular belief, the spots do not indicate whether these insects are males or females. However, the spots do fade somewhat as the insect grows older. Males and females are also the same colour.

A male would me smaller than a female ladybug. If they're mating, you can tell that the male is on the top. Also females are rounded like a balloon.

You can usually tell a female from a male because the male is most likely smaller than a female. Also during the mating process the male climbs on top of the female.
