Years ago I would have confidently told you that ladybugs don’t bite. Then I got bitten by one. My guess is that SOMETIMES when these predaceous insects land on our soft skin they taste (with their feet and antennae) that we are made of protein and fat and that must stimulate them to take a taste. Most of the time they don’t do this though, they usually walk to the highest point, then spread their wings and fly off to look for smaller, more appropriate prey.
