I did find out that ladybugs in the Epilachninae sub family do in fact eat herbaceous material and can sometimes become a pest. That was the only case that I found that said that ladybugs eat anything but other insects.
I even found an instance where a female ladybug of a particular species deposits her eggs in another insect. That was something that I did not know.
