Yes, ladybug larvae eat the other eggs. It is thought that adult female ladybugs deposit fertile and infertile eggs so that the former, which hatch into larvae, will have substitute or supplemental food sources in the form of the latter, which do not hatch. Adult female ladybugs try to ensure future generations by depositing spring and summer totals of 2,000 in clusters of 10 to 50 on the undersides of food and host plant leaves amid or near vegetation supporting edible, soft-bodied aphid insect pests.
