Koksi beetles (also called ladybugs) are small beetles that make up the family Coccinellidae. They are easily recognizable because of their small round appearance and colorful backs and in some species that have spots. Common people sometimes refer to the koksi beetle as a ladybug, because of its size and tough shield, but this beetle is not at all from the ladybug nation (Hemiptera). This insect is known as a farmer's friend because some of its members prey on insect pests such as aphids. However, there are some species of koksi that also eat leaves and thus become parasitic to plants.
