What is the life cycle of ladybugs?

Answer 1

starts as an egg then it turns into larva the it turns into lady bug pupa and then its a grown upThe first stage of a ladybug's life cycle is the Egg Stage. The ladybug's eggs are laid, and they usually hatch 2-5 days after they are laid. The second stage is the Larvae Stage. When the eggs hatch the larvae will come out and start looking for food. They will usually look for small mites or aphids. A few days later, the larvae will begin to shed their skin, this is called molting, they will continue to molt until they are finished growing. The third stage is the Pupa Stage After about 2 weeks of being larvae the ladybug will turn into the pupa stage. It attaches itself to a leaf and it will remain there for a few days, during these few days the larvae are going through a metamorphosis (changes) into a ladybug. The final stage is the adult lady bug stage. After the metamorphosis is done, the skin of the larvae will break open and the adult ladybug will come out. The shell will look very pale or pink for a couple of hours, when the couple of hours are up the shell will begin to harden, while the shell is hardening it begins to gain pigment, and the shell turns bright red.
