Lots O' Ladybugs!



We recently studied animal characteristics and part of that study was learning about the life cycle of different animals. Our classes have spent the last couple of weeks watching first hand how a ladybug goes through its life cycle. We learned that a ladybug has four stages:


Egg


Larvae

Pupa




Adult


We watched our ladybugs as they went through these four stages of life. Today we were able to take a closer look at our new adult ladybugs and find places on our playground for them to find aphids to eat! The students had a great time getting to know these fascinating animals.
