Additionally, in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|White 2]] its evolved form swarms on {{rt|22|Unova}} while Spinarak's evolved form does so in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2]]. | * Ledyba can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Spinarak}}.

Ledyba | Ledyba seems to be based on a {{wp|Coccinellidae|ladybug}}, particularly the {{wp|Harmonia axyridis|Asian ladybeetle}} or {{wp|Coccinella septempunctata|seven-spot ladybird}} due to its bright red color and black spots. Like Ledyba, many real ladybugs form large swarms during cold weather and secrete fluid from their leg joints as a defense mechanism. | ||
