Recently I laid out a ladybug doll and didn't even think that I would be able to find its larva, and to my surprise there was no limit when I was able to meet it, even at this time of year. But do you know what was the most amazing? This is the fact that on one plant I found a larva of a ladybug, and its pupa, and an adult that has already come out and pupae, which was near its shell! It's just incredible !!! Scroll through the photos to see this unique phenomenon.
The growth and development of the larva depends on the amount of food, with a sufficient amount per week it can grow up to 8 mm. The maximum size, up to 1 cm, can be observed in the larva of the last age, which has already undergone 4 molts. In a day the larva of a ladybug lays up to 60 individuals of aphids, and in the presence of sufficient forage base can eat up to 300 larvae of aphids.
