Ladybugs?

Space Angel said:

I know that ladybugs are a good thing to have running amuck on your plants, but what about these ladybugs that the goverment released a few years back, to supposedly to feed wild turkey. they have an orange back instead of the pink back,, like the original ladybugs have. will they nibble on my plants or will they feast on other bugs/mites, etc.??? +reps to all who knows the answer! Thanks!!!!

From what I've read it doesn't matter the species, in general most ladybugs are an effective deterrent to other pesky pests. Spiders are also beneficial for the same reason.
