   Ladybugs can be a gardeners best friend. They are often used to control such insect pests as aphids, scales, and mites, which they eat. Several species of ladybugs do feed on plants but most feed on the small pests mentioned above.
   
   Ladybugs primarily eat aphids, a kind of small green insect that feeds on plant juices. This makes ladybugs very useful for pest control, as aphids are harmful to many crop plants.
   
   Ladybug's favorite food are aphids and mites. They simply walk up to the little critters and eat them. As aphids and alike are often destructive to gardens, ladybugs can be purchased commercially as a natural garden pest control in many areas.
   A ladybug eats aphids usually but sometimes other plant-eating insects. Ladybugs can eat up to 5,000 aphids in their life which is why farmers seem to like the little critters.
