a BUG story

What do you know about Lady bugs? i needed to know why there were so many larva all over a few weeks ago. Soooooo this is what i learned.

Lady bugs lay eggs on the under side of leaves,
where there is a large amount on aphids, so when the
larva hatch they have something to eat.

the larva are small at first but grow to about a-half inch in just a few weeks.
this one is about to morph.

2 hungry larva, and 2 in a cocoon

1 is out the other was out the next day

and this is the cute little bug,
MY LADY BUG.
