Coccinellidae () is a widespread family of small beetles. They are commonly known as ladybugs in North America and ladybirds in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and other English speaking territories; "lady" refers to Saint Mary. Entomologists use the names ladybird beetles or lady beetles to avoid confusion with true bugs.
