The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Ladybird Beetle**: The ladybird beetle, despite its name suggesting it might be a bird, is actually an insect. 2. **Classification**: It belongs to the phylum Arthropoda, which is the largest phylum in the animal kingdom, comprising about two-thirds of all animal species. 3. **Order Identification**: Within Arthropoda, the ladybird beetle falls under the order Coleoptera, which is the largest order of insects, commonly known as beetles. 4. **Physical Characteristics**: Ladybird beetles have four wings. The outer pair of wings is thick, leathery, hard, and opaque, serving as protective covers rather than for flight. 5. **Diet and Ecological Role**: Most ladybird beetles are herbivores that feed on crops, making them pests. However, some are carnivorous and feed on harmful insects like aphids, which makes them beneficial in pest management. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct classification of the ladybird beetle is that it is an insect, not a bird, worm, or reptile. ### Final Answer: The ladybird beetle is an **insect**. ---
