beetles, undergoes a complete
metamorphosis, 1.egg 2. larva 3.
pupa 4. adult. The life cycle of the ladybug
is between four to six weeks. In the
spring the female adults lay a mass of
eggs The eggs hatch in two to five days.
      The adult ladybug emerges
about a week later. However, they
usually do not have their spots for their
first 24 hours of adulthood. There may be as
many as six generations of ladybugs hatched in
a year.

Our ladybug larvae are here! They do not look like ladybugs. They like to drink water and run around in their ladybug land.   May 15 Our ladybug larvae are now going into the pupa stage.  May 20 Our first ladybugs appeared today. They were very light n color but then they started to darken. We gave them a raisin soaked in water for food. Youcan see the shell of the pupa near the top of this picture.  LINKS
