Below are easy beetle coloring pages with simple ladybugs and other beetles for younger learners.

Ladybug tends to be the name for these beetles in North America, whereas in the UK, ladybird is commonly used. Ladybugs are generally red or orange and black, but there are 5000 different kinds, and some are even blue, pink, purple, and green. You can color these pictures just about any way you like, and they will be realistic!

Fun facts – You would expect that these small, delicate creatures don’t move too far or fast, but they do. A ladybug can travel at the same speed as a racehorse (37 mph). They can also fly at elevations of up to 3600 feet!

Ladybugs can have up to 20 spots on their backs and can be found high up in the mountains as high as 3000 meters above sea level. In 1999, NASA even sent 4 of these beetles into space for a scientific experiment! They can lay up to 1000 eggs during their lifespan and love to eat garden pests such as aphids.

As a child, my siblings and I were taught that if a ladybug lands on your hand or finger, it is a good luck omen. There seems to be quite a bit of folklore about these beetles, all around the world!
