Are ladybugs scavengers

Ladybugs are not typically classified as scavengers; instead, they are primarily predators, mainly feeding on aphids and other small insects. Some species may consume pollen and nectar, but their primary diet consists of live prey. While they may occasionally feed on decaying organic matter, this behavior is not characteristic of scavenging. Overall, ladybugs play a beneficial role in controlling pest populations in gardens and agricultural settings.
