What is animal mariquita?

Mariquita is a Spanish word for ladybug, which is a small, colorful beetle belonging to the family Coccinellidae. Ladybugs are considered beneficial insects as they prey on aphids, mites, and other plant-damaging pests. They have bright, bold-colored bodies with spots, and their wings are shaped like a half-oval. Ladybugs are found worldwide, and there are over 5,000 different species. They are generally harmless to humans and are often considered good luck in many cultures. Ladybugs have a lifespan of around a year and go through several stages of development from eggs to larvae to pupae before becoming adults. They are important members of the ecosystem and are widely loved by children and adults alike.
