ou can tell the age of a lady bug by counting the number of spots on its wings.



Once a lady beetle reaches adulthood and has wings, it is no longer growing and molting. Its colors and spots remain the same throughout its adult life; they are not indicators of age. Many lady beetle species are named for their markings, however. The seven-spotted lady beetle, for example, has seven black spots on its red back.
