Lifecycle of a Ladybug (lady beetles)

Ladybug Eggs.


Ladybug Larva.


Ladybug Pupae.


Ladybug!


Oh, and FYI - those little white things on the plant around the ladybugs are really really really really bad bugs. Also known as aphids. Well, they aren't too bad - they do provide the ladybugs a food source. Eat faster ladybugs!

    I remember one year I had a ton of the ladybug larvae in this one spot- I mean tons of them. Now after seeing your post, I'm wondering if it was the same year that I had the monster Dill growing too? That same Dill is now a volunteer in the greenhouse. I'm going to have to see if I have some records that year.
