¿Por qué es feminine?

Joaninhas is feminine because it contains the feminine diminutive suffix "-inha." In Portuguese, diminutive forms inherit the gender of their base word. While "joana" is a female given name, "joaninha" as the word for ladybug likely derives from folk etymology or religious association (the ladybug was called "Our Lady's beetle" in various European languages), rather than being a direct diminutive of the name. Regardless of origin, the "-inha" suffix marks it as feminine.
