Ladybug

The ladybug is a character that appears in both the series and serves as the main character in the movies. Just like real life ladybugs, their ventral surface is flat, with their body being the shape of a dome. They have a red elytra covered with several black spots. In season 2, female ladybugs were given a slight orange tint in their elytra to be distinguishable from males. To complete, they have six limbs and a black body. The ladybugs head has two large eyeballs with a trunk-like mouth. They have grey eyes that can be seen in close-ups or most notably, the second movie.

Personality
"No longer that critter from "Ladybug, Ladybug fly away home", the ladybug has a reputation of being sweet and kind. Not true. She's a real little pest. Her favorite pastime is bugging the flies and getting them riled up so they will go on a wild chase with her..." - The official description.

In the show, the ladybug is mostly seen to be quite the little imp. She mostly likes to taunt several flying insects around the valley, which would lead to the disturbed insects chasing her. The ladybug mostly likes to taunt the flies, though she would occasionally do that to other insects, like the wasps and dragonflies, as seen on episodes like "Top Tabasco" and "Ladybugs" respectively.

Despite being an imp, she is sometimes seen to be nice and careful towards other insects. In "Catapult" and "Sow the Wind and Reap the Whirlwind", the ladybug, after being thrown off by a grasshopper, takes revenge and throws him instead of his actions towards others. In "Dragonflies", she successfully manages to get rid of the dragonfly bullies that were around the pond. She was accompanied by several other ladybugs at the end of "Ladybugs" to defeat the last member of the gang, though it unfortunately didn't work unlike last time, as they were defeated by even more dragonflies than them. At one moment in "The Wing Case", the green caterpillar jumps off a stem as an attempt to fly like the others, though is saved by the ladybug before hitting the ground. In "Spider Driver", she helps a jumping spider drive up to the flies and knock them down through a chase. Similar to "Catapult", the grasshopper returns one again to frighten insects as a sock puppet costume in "The Monster of the Haunted Swamp", after the ladybug sees this, she disguises herself as a ghost to scare him, causing the grasshopper to bonk into a wall and fall to the ground.

Trivia

 * The ladybug is the first character to appear in the series.
 * In Season 2, the ladybugs were slightly redesigned.
 * As mentioned above, female ladybugs elytra were made orange for the sake of distinguishing from males.
 * Inconstancy: In most chase sequences episodes with the wasps, the ladybug was able to outrun them with no issues whatsoever. This would be quite unrealistic, as wasps are able to fly much faster, at a speed of at least 20 km/h (12.43 mph) whilst the ladybug can only go up to a speed of about 10 km/h (6.21 mph).
 * The same can also be said for the dragonflies, as they are able to go up onto 36 km/h (22.37 mph), but the ladybug can also outrun them.


 * The ladybug is one of the few characters to be able to do more than one facial expression other than being tired.
