Ladybugs are predators too and they look cute. You have no excuse.

Pish, ladybugs. Not even a true bug. They only look cute so they can let you know that they're toxic. And if you try to bother them they'll start bleeding from the knees. They're lucky most of their food is a pest.

I eat them anyways. Don't bother me none.

And who decides what a true bug is, huh? Bullshit pseudoscientific taxonomists?

More like genocidal sociopaths. Can you guess what two species are the main cause of multiple extinctions?
