There are many species of ladybeettles. Some are useful preying on
aphids, scale etc and some like the 28 spot ladybeetle are leave
eaters that will destroy potatos, eggplant etc.

Huh, learn something new every day. I've seen a lot of lady bugs and I have
not seen the 28 spot variety - I looked up some pics of them - none of ours
have anywhere near that many spots.
