Are there male ladybugs ? That is the question this morning. The answer is yes--but it is very difficult to tell the males from the females. Although the females are a bit larger. And what are male ladybugs called ? They are called male ladybugs.
The ladybug-BTW-is actually a beetle and there are over 3-thousand different species.
