Hello, I'm an expert in the field of entomology, which is the study of insects. I'd be happy to address your concerns about ladybugs, also known as ladybirds or lady beetles.

Ladybugs are not currently considered to be going extinct. However, like many species, they can be affected by various factors that may lead to population declines in certain areas. These factors can include habitat loss, pesticide use, introduction of invasive species, and climate change. It's important to note that the status of ladybugs can vary by region and species, with some species being more at risk than others.

Conservation efforts are in place to protect these beneficial insects. Ladybugs are considered beneficial because they are natural predators of many pests that can damage crops and gardens. By promoting biodiversity and reducing the use of harmful pesticides, we can help support healthy ladybug populations.
