NO! Are you mental?
answ2. I have these last few days observed a Lady Beetle cannibalizing a L-B chrysalis. Took about 1 day, and I have photo.
This is perhaps not 'meat' but certainly includes the proteins etc of the 'soup' in a chrysalis.
There is an old saying "Does one swallow not a cannibal make?". Or something like that.
And, an adult L-B will willingly suck the interior from an aphid. But this is just the sap of a plant.

DevinLadybugs are predominantly herbivorous and their diet mostly consists of plant pests like aphids, mealybugs, and scale insects. While they are not known to actively seek out or consume meat, they may scavenge on animal matter such as dead insects if their preferred food sources are scarce.

What is the ecological cycle of ladybugs?
Ladybugs play a crucial role in the ecosystem as they consume aphids and other plant-eating pests, helping to control their populations. They lay eggs on plant leaves, which hatch into larvae that also feed on pests before pupating and emerging as adult beetles. Ladybugs are preyed upon by birds, spiders, and certain insects, contributing to the food web.
Is it safe for ladybugs to eat bread?
