What are ladybug habitats like?

Over the last few weeks I have been watching and photog ladybeetles.

When newly hatched, they are a butter yellow! I'd never heard of that. They take about 1 day to change colour.

[In our case, that is with a black body with red or yellow spots, splotches, or triangles, depending upon species.]

LB usually live on sap from tree etc, but when presented with a pre-wrapped bundle of sap (aka aphids/greenfly) they consider it made.

They hatch from an elongate egg laid in groups of a dozen, under a leaf. The caterpillar they hatch into is very active and looks like a miniature Komodo Dragon. They are about as active in walking as a fly is. At least one of the chrysalises was eaten by a caterpillar phase!
