I never thought I would get attached to a bunch of bugs!!! We have had a ladybug farm here at AOHC for the last few weeks and they have gained quite a popular following. They started out as tiny pupa that looked nothing like a ladybug. We came in one day and they weren't moving at all! Come to find out, they were in their "shells" going through metamorphosis to become ladybugs. Most of the adults I spoke to about them had no idea they went through this process. It was quite a learning experience not only for our students but for our parents and teachers too!

Here are the remaining "shells" of the pupa. |

They really like to climb on the paper like a maze. |
|
Here they are all grown up! |
|
We will all miss them but know they are in store for some great adventures!!
