Hello, I'm an expert in entomology, the scientific study of insects. I'd be happy to help answer your question about ladybugs.

Ladybugs, also known as ladybirds or lady beetles, are generally harmless to humans. Most species of ladybugs do not bite. They are beneficial insects that feed on pests like aphids, making them a welcome sight in gardens. However, some species might pinch or nip if handled roughly, but this is not the same as a bite and is more of a reflex action to defend themselves. The pinch is usually not harmful and is rarely felt.

Although most ladybugs are harmless and good for the environment, the recently introduced Asian Lady Beetle (harmonia axyridis) is an exception. Unlike its docile relative, this orange ladybug can be aggressive and bite.
