Where are all the ladybugs? While you might catch them in your house, there are lots of ladybugs that go unaccounted for. While scientists are still figuring out where some species of ladybugs have gone, one reason may be competition from non-native bugs. Come help us identify our ladybug friends and see how many we can find.
