Product Description
The most common insects that ladybugs eat are aphids. They also eat other insects that have soft bodies, like mites, white flies, and scale insects. Ladybugs can eat a ton of aphids in no time. A Ladybug can lay up to 1000 eggs in its lifetime. Not all Ladybugs have spots.
Ladybugs will clean themselves after a meal.
Over 300 types of Ladybugs live in North America.
One cup will hold 5000 ladybugs
The ladybug life cycle is not much different from the life cycle of a butterfly. The ladybug goes through the same four stages as a butterfly, the egg stage, the larvae stage, the pupa stage, and the adult ladybug stage.
Female ladybugs lay their eggs on the underside of leaves. This is to protect them from being seen by flying predators as well as from the weather. A mother ladybug will lay from ten to fifteen eggs in one place and she will make sure that it is a place where the babies can find food when they hatch. The ladybug eggs look similar to yellow jellybeans, except that they are tiny. Once the eggs hatch, the larvae will come out and start looking for something to eat. They will look for tiny mites or aphids.Newborn larvae look sort of like tiny alligators. After only a few days, the larvae will be large enough to begin to molt (shed their skin).After a couple of weeks of growing, the larvae will start to change into something that looks like a shrimp. It will find a leaf to attach itself to and it will seem to fall asleep for a few days, but it is not sleeping at all. During the pupa stage, the larvae are going through a metamorphosis into a ladybug.
When the metamorphosis is complete, the skin of the larvae will split open and the full grown ladybug will emerge, but it still wont look like the ladybug that you know so well. It will look soft and pink or very pale for a couple of hours until its shell becomes hard. As the shell hardens it also gains pigment, which causes the ladybug to become bright red. Ladybugs can live up to two years!!!

 Arived Dead May 25, 2010
btcsc (awendaw, sc.)
They arived dead even though they arived a week sooner than the estimated shipping time. They either shipped a batch that was at the end of its life cycle, or they died in the heat during shipping. The package was taped-up so much I don't see how the bugs had air. This order was cheap, so it's chaulked-up as a lessen learned. I won't be doing business with them again.
