86 A Ladybug’s Life
The life of a ladybug begins in the spring. A ladybug grows in three stages. Then it becomes an adult. The egg stage- A female ladybug finds a leaf. Then she lays many eggs. The larva stage- An egg hatches. Out comes a little bug, or larva. It is much smaller than a grown ladybug. The pupa stage- The larva grows a new hard skin. It covers the ladybug like a shell. The adult stage- The ladybug then pushes out of the skin. Its body is soft and wet. The air makes it hard and dry. Now the ladybug is grown. Look at the tiny body of a ladybug. Like all bugs, it has three body parts and six legs. But its wings are different from those of other bugs. It has two outer wings. They cover the thin wings under them.
