I found a lady bug larvae in my yard and I'm want to watch it turn into a lady bug. I need to feed it and so what does it eat?

Aphids, mealybugs, and mites. These are VERY tiny insects. You would do the lady bug to be a favor by putting it back in the yard, and letting it find it's own food. It will be very hard for YOU to find the food.

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.
