What types of plants do ladybugs lay their eggs on?

Ladybugs typically lay their eggs on plants that are infested with aphids or other soft-bodied pests, as these serve as a food source for the hatching larvae. Common host plants include various species of flowering plants, vegetables, and trees, particularly those known to attract aphids, such as roses, beans, and cabbage. Additionally, ladybugs may choose plants with a suitable microenvironment that offers protection from predators and harsh weather.
