Ladybugs are the one insect almost nobody minds finding on their sleeve. The famous red dome is really a pair of hard wing covers, called elytra, that split apart when the beetle takes off, and the spots have nothing to do with age, whatever the playground myth says – they mark the species. Some ladybugs are orange, some are yellow, and a few are black with red spots. Gardeners love them for a less charming reason: a single ladybug can eat thousands of aphids in its lifetime. These ladybug coloring pages keep the cute cartoon version – big eyes, a round shell, a friend in nearly every scene – and give it a small world of mushroom cottages, lily ponds and busy little gardens. Every character is an original Papaya Ink drawing.

There are two kinds of sheets here. Black-and-white sheets are classic full-page line art. Sheets with a color sample are split in half: a finished color picture on top, the same drawing as line art below, and a dashed line between them, so you can copy the colors, cut the sample off, or ignore it and choose your own. The Show me buttons above the grid filter the page to one kind or show everything. Click any picture and the PDF opens, sized for US Letter and fits A4. On a black-and-white printer the color sample comes out gray, so print those sheets in color if you can.

Red is the tricky part of any ladybug. One red pencil on its own looks flat, so lay down a light orange first, build scarlet over it, and press harder toward the edges of the shell so it reads as a dome. Leave a small white highlight near the top – that one bare patch does more than any shading. Spots go in last, in black or a very dark gray. If the classic look gets old, borrow from nature and try an orange shell, a yellow one, or black with red spots. The backgrounds are full of flowers, leaves and water; a light layer of green and blue in the open areas makes the red stand out. Fine pencils and gel pens suit the detailed scenes, and the big round shapes of the characters stay easy enough for kids.
