Hello, I'm an expert in the field of entomology, which is the study of insects. I'd be happy to help answer your question about ladybirds.

Ladybirds, also known as ladybugs, are small beetles that are generally considered beneficial insects. They are known for their bright colors and their role as predators of various pests, such as aphids, in agricultural and garden settings.

Ladybirds are not aggressive and they do not have a biting mouthpart structure that would allow them to bite humans. They have mandibles, which are used for chewing, but these are primarily used to consume their prey, not to bite humans. If a ladybird were to come into contact with human skin, it might pinch slightly if it felt threatened, but this is not a bite and is not harmful.

In summary, ladybirds do not bite humans. They are more likely to flee from humans than to engage in any form of aggressive behavior.
