red ladybug
Crimson dotted insect
A red ladybug is the familiar small beetle with a bright red or orange-red shell marked with black spots.
The phrase is somewhat redundant since red is the color most associated with ladybugs, though species vary from yellow to orange to black.
Children often encounter the term in picture books and nursery rhymes: We found a red ladybug on the rosebush.
