Ladybugs are common in gardens. Gardeners appreciate them because they eat plant-destroying insects such as aphids. If you wanted to encourage these beetles in your garden, you would want to provide for their basic needs.

Question

What is not a basic need of the ladybug?
Select one:
a. Soil
b. A place to live
