Red & Yellow Ladybug Fly Fishing
Family: Coccinellidae Ladybug belongs to a family of small beetles, ranging in color; they can be red, yellow, or orange, and most commonly have small black spots on their wing covers. As they are in essence beetles, and not true bugs, more correct names would be ladybird beetles or lady beetles. Ladybugs are small in size, ranging from few millimeters to about 1 cm in length. Some species feed on plants while others are predators and feed on aphids and scale insects, so they can be found near vegetation.
Green Ladybug (Spotted Cucumber Beetle) Fly Fishing
Latin name: Diabrotica undecimpunctata Family: Chrysomelidae Green ladybug is not a true ladybug but a spotted cucumber beetle (Diabrotica undecimpunctata), a plant-eating green beetle with black spots. This insect is one of the most notorious agricultural pests feeding on cucumber, been, cotton, corn, and other leaves. They are about 0.5 cm long and are most active in the spring and summer. They can be found in the fields, farms, gardens, meadows, so when fishing a stream nearby, this can be a great fly pattern to fish with.
Pink Spotted Ladybug Fly Fishing
Latin: Coleomegilla maculata Family: Coccinellidae Pink spotted ladybugs are native to the North American continent. They primarily feed on aphids and can be found near vegetation. Pink ladybugs are most abundant in September, just before they go into winter hibernation. They emerge again in the springtime to mate and later lay the eggs. These little insects can be found in the fields, farms, gardens, meadows, so when fishing a stream nearby, this can be a great fly pattern to fish with.
