you can call it whatever it's mostly named ladybird but now people call it ladybug because it is a bug and also ladybird because it can fly and has wings so people have different meanings and names for it so really just call it what makes you like it, it is also known as a lady beetle.
It depends where you're from. In general, Americans refer to it as "ladybug" and British as "ladybird." I personally prefer ladybug. Maybe it's because I'm American, but I generally call bugs bugs and birds birds.
It is a bug not a beetle. Also the word bug is in the name ladybug.
Well, the ladybug is in the beetle family Coccinellidae making the lady bug a beetle but the beetle is in the class Insecta making it a insect a the same time. So for your question aq ladybug is beetle and an insect or what you call it a ''bug''.
The names ladybird and ladybug are interchangeable, with North Americans generally using the term ladybugs while people in the UK call them ladybirds.
