The scientific family name for ladybugs or ladybird beetles, a group of small, round beetles that are usually brightly colored.
From Late Latin 'coccineus' (scarlet) plus '-idae' (family suffix), literally 'the scarlet beetle family'.
With over 6,000 species in this family, ladybugs are found on every continent except Antarctica, and some species have been deliberately introduced across the world as natural pest control in agriculture.
