Our ladybugs


This year in our garden we got TONS of ladybugs in our tomato plants.  It was crazy!  First we saw just a few ladybugs and then we started seeing "baby ladybugs".  It was fun to see them turn from little black bugs into pretty ladybugs.  I never knew that ladybug larvae looked like that!

This is a ladybug larvae.

Pretty ladybug.

It was cool to see the transformation.  These are the larvae turning into ladybugs.  I'm not sure exactly how long it takes for the whole process, but it takes a couple weeks i think.

Bright red!

 And we found this really cool black ladybug with red spots.  Pretty cool.

 And we also found these cool orange ones with lots of black spots.  

 So many ladybugs.

This picture is pretty cool because it shows three ladybugs, two larvae turning into ladybugs and one larvae.  It was pretty fun to go out to the garden everyday and check on our ladybug friends!
