Anyone know about the diet of a Ladybug.

Well, it's getting to be cold here in Wisconsin, which means the bugs start looking for warm places to survive. Today was insane actually, it was around 75 degrees after a steady cooling period, it got real cold for a while. Today every single pole, fence, tree, sign, etc, I walked past had spider webs flowing from them; the spiders were trying to swing to things to connect to and make webs. Young queen ants were taking off all over the place too.
But the ladybugs were looking for places to crawl into and hide, or something. I could see their shadows on my window. So many of them flying around out there. They found a way into my dorm room... I eventually found it and covered it. I don't have the heat to kill the poor things, so I was letting them go outside in the hallway... I know they won't survive but it's better than letting them die in my room.
Anyway, the last one that made it through the hole, I have in a tupperware with the crumbies of carmel popcorn and peanuts. Any chance this unfortunate soul could survive on this?
