BY MRS. P. MEEHAN'S CLASS

WE GOT THE LADYBUGS AND WATCHED THEM GROW.

LADYBUGS LAY YELLOW EGGS UNDER THE LEAVES.

MOTHERS DON'T SEE THE EGGS HATCH.

THEY EAT A LOT, MOVE AROUND AND GROW.

THE LARVA SKIN GETS TOO TIGHT AND FALLS OFF.

THEN THEY GROW NEW SKIN.

THE PUPA NEVER MOVES BECAUSE IT IS CHANGING INTO AN ADULT.

IT COMES OUT OF THE PUPA STAGE AND IS NOW AN ADULT.

LEGS, WINGS, ANTENNAE, DOTS AND AN ELYTRA.

THE ADULTS COULD FLY INSIDE AND EAT RAISINS.

WE TOOK TURNS HOLDING THE LADYBUGS THEN SET THEM FREE.
