According to the Internet… (Which we all know is never worng.) It is relatively safe to eat a ladybug, in the sense that it is not poisonous. However, they don’t taste good – being very bitter.
You wonder how many the guy ate who was doing the research?
Ladybugs bite, if they can get their mouths around an aphid they can get them on you. Just a tiny little sting unless you get into a spring hatch then it’s exponential tiny stings and not comfortable.

I think the ladybug had the worst day of the three here.

If it was an orange one (lady beetle) you might want to induce vomiting there, Kevin. If it doesn’t do it for you.

Down here in the south lady bugs most certainly DO bite.

As a motorcyclist I’m sure I’ve eaten a few.

He should meet Calvin someday. Remember that strip where he brought in a bag of dead bugs for his show and tell/ lunch?

She’s not very bright. Biting and being poisonous are completely unrelated.

Is this a test?

Yes, it’s the Asian Lady Beetle that bites!! Looks a lot like the Lady Bug but stinks when you squash it too!

Ladybugs are voracious. They devoured all the gentlemanbugs

Could be worse, could be pillbugs. I read that when you swallow them, the stomach acid doesn’t kill them quickly so they keep trying to crawl back up!

Is eating a Ladybug some kind of Tik Tok challenge ?

If it’s an Asian lady beetle they do bite.

One possible reason – edited:
…There was an old lady who swallowed a cow,
I don’t know how she swallowed a cow;
She swallowed the cow to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;
I don’t know why she swallowed a fly – Perhaps she’ll die!
There was an old lady who swallowed a horse…She’s dead, of course!

I’ve eaten a lot of bugs; some on purpose, some not. You’ll live, Kevin, don’t bug out!
