Today I want to show you all four stages of ladybugs life cycle. First of all, I'm not an expert for insects and I don't know much more about ladybugs than you know. I'm just photographer who last few year constantly trying to capture all of those four stages of metamorphosis.
Entire life cycle of ladybugs is only 4 to 7 weeks. First a stage is egg. After long searching for eggs of ladybugs I finally found them. Usually ladybugs put their eggs under wide leafs on trees, it's very difficult to spot it If you don't look under leafs. You can see few photos of eggs below this text.
Second stage of metamorphosis is "Larva"! For so long period of time I wondered what a hell is this?! Yes, I didn't had a clue, but my personal curiosity woke desire to find answers (many people claim that ignorance is bliss, I don't agree at all, I would rather say ignorance is curse!). Below you can see few shots of larva.
Third stage is "Pupa", there is just small difference in looks between 2 and 3 stages. They both looks so weird to me. This phase is long just 5 to 7 days. Many of us already seen this weird creatures but without awareness and knowledge what was that. I provide few photos of pupa.
Fourth stage is very well known to everyone, 'Adult"! Even little children know for ladybugs. Photographers also likes them and they are often main subject of theirs photographs, I'm one of them! I hope you will enjoy in photos :)
