Yes, ladybugs (Coccinellidae family) have exoskeletons, or hard skeletons that are located on the outside of the body.

Specifically, ladybugs are insects. All insects have the following:

Compound eyes on their heads;

Head, thorax and abdomen as three (3) distinct body parts;

One (1) pair of antennae;

Skeleton that is hard and on the outside of the body;

Three (3) pairs of segmented legs.

Ladybugs have all of the above so they therefore have exoskeletons.
Yes, they do!

Protection of internal body parts and from moisture and temperature extremes is why ladybugs (Coccinellidae family) have exoskeletons.

Specifically, ladybugs are insects. An insect adaptation is having a hard skeleton on the outside instead of the inside of the body. The skeleton's location and the texture are intended to protect the parts and fluids on the inside and to prevent stress from moisture and temperature changes.
