Ladybug life cycle - Full photo, from ladybugs mating process until it becomes an adult.
Ladybug life cycle does not happen fast, it takes about 3 to 4 weeks for the ladybug eggs to hatch and become adults. Fast and long the process also depends on weather conditions.
To protect the eggs from predators female will choose a place where she would put her eggs, usually under leaves with slightly hidden position. Selection of a place to lay eggs is also affected by the food, the female will make sure she puts her eggs close to food (aphids) so that the baby has a lot of food after they hatch 3 to 5 days after the female lays her eggs.
Baby ladybugs (ladybugs larvae) has a strange shape, long body with black and orange and prickly on his back looks very scary. Very far from what I had imagined, because previously I imagine the baby ladybugs like an adult ladybugs with small size and more cute.
ladybugs baby is also a fierce predator, they were able to spend 400 aphids in 2 to 4 weeks. After they are mature enough as a baby ladybugs, they will stick to the leaves and pupate. Roughly about one week they will come out and turn into a beautiful adult ladybugs.
Let's see some pictures of ladybugs that I get, starting from ladybugs mating, egg ladybugs, baby ladybugs (larvae), pupae until it becomes an adult ladybugs.
very small eggs, I was thinking how to fry its?
Perfect, just waiting to die.
Note: The photo was taken at a different time and place, and then I set it accordance with its life cycle.
