Ladybug Coloring Pages
Make free printable ladybug coloring pages from 12 ladybugs we drew ourselves: a ladybug seen from above, a ladybug on a leaf, a flying ladybug with its wing cases open, a life cycle from eggs to larva to pupa to ladybug, a ladybug on a daisy, a cute round ladybug, a ladybug with heart-shaped spots, a patterned ladybug for older colorers, two ladybugs on a twig, a ladybug on a mushroom, a ladybug climbing a grass blade and an easy ladybug for little ones. Every ladybug is our own simple drawing, with no film, book or cartoon ladybugs and no brands, so the pages suit homes, classrooms and libraries. Print one big ladybug on a page, a grid of four or six small ones, a garden scene with three ladybugs, a fold-in-half card, or a ladybug mandala with small ladybugs round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Blank ladybugs to decorate prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 plain ladybug outlines with no spots, so children can draw their own; one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter. Type a child’s name for a name page, or paste a class list to get the same ladybug for everyone with each name at the top. Choose simple, medium or detailed lines, never thinner than 0.5 mm. Download one multi-page PDF for US Letter or A4, a 300 DPI PNG of every page, or an SVG. No sign-up, no watermark.

Ladybug facts to read while you color
- Ladybugs grow up in four stages. The USDA Agricultural Research Service says lady beetles have four distinct life stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Eggs hatch in about three to five days.
- Ladybugs help gardeners. The same page says the larvae search plants for aphids and other soft-bodied arthropods to eat, and that adults and larvae typically feed on the same prey.

Coloring ideas
- Classic ladybug: a bright red shell, black spots, a black head and legs, and white marks behind the head.
- Garden page: two greens for the leaves and grass, a yellow centre on the daisy.
- Spot count: color the spots on the blank ladybugs and count them together.
Printing tips
- Every page keeps a 12.7 mm (half inch) margin from the paper edge, on US Letter and A4.
- Plain paper is fine for crayons and pencils; use thicker paper or card for markers or paint.
- Print one page first and check it before printing a whole pack or class set.
- Choose Detailed lines only with fine pens or sharp pencils, and Simple lines with chunky crayons.
