The Life of a Ladybug

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!!
