The ladybug is also known as the ladybird, and more correctly known as the ladybeetle. The insect goes through the four stages of metamorphosis, hatching from an egg to become a voracious larva, then forming a pupa from which the colorful ladybug emerges.

Scientific Name: Coccinella septempunctata

Characteristics: Ladybug eggs are attached to leaves of plants infested by aphids, which provide a ready food source for the hungry larva. After molting four times, it enters the pupa stage.

Size and Color: The larva stage of the ladybug is said to resemble an alligator with its long jaws. The bright red and black adult ladybug figure is 2 ½ inches wide, about the same as a large spoon.

The Life Cycle of a Ladybug is part of the Safariology® collection.

Steven E. ★★★★★ Oct 22, 2026

My daughter was fascinated watching the ladybug life cycle unfold, especially when the tiny larva stage appeared in the clear container. The whole set made learning about metamorphosis feel like a real science project.

The little plastic eggs and larva pieces are so detailed you can actually see the tiny legs, and my daughter loves sorting them into the four stages as she learns the names.

My three-year-old loves lining up the four stages and telling me which is which. The eggs are tiny but perfectly sculpted, and the adult ladybug's spots are crisp and bright. A fantastic teaching tool.
