Do Ladybugs Drink Water?

Do ladybugs drink water?

Usually, ladybugs get their water from their food, but they can also drink water. They will drink water when they are out in the heat or their food source is not enough to provide them with the moisture that they need.

How to feed your ladybugs

For feeding, you can either use aphids or other insects that they love to eat. These include white flies, spider mites, mealy bugs, and other small insects. You can also use fruit or anything sweet like bananas, figs, dates, grapes, and papaya to make their diet more interesting.

How to keep your ladybugs hydrated

If you want to provide your ladybugs with extra hydration, spritz the walls of their habitat daily with water. This will offer a thin layer of moisture and will be much safer than using a cap of water.

How to keep your ladybugs safe from the rain

You can protect your ladybugs from rain by providing them with a drier home. They can easily drown in standing water, so make sure to provide them with a dry place where they can live their lives comfortably.

How to take care of your ladybugs

For taking good care of your ladybugs, you need to provide them with a warm place where they can rest and hibernate in the winter. In winter, their main food sources are gone so they spend the rest of their lives sleeping and storing up energy for spring when their plants and insects are back in season.
