Thank You to Safari Ltd. for sponsoring Donnie's Domain Bug Blog Review.
Donnie's Domain The Bug Blog Ladybug Edition
As a parent, a determined effort is made toward avoiding negative prejudices that limit the experiences of my children and to encourage their developing minds to remain open to new challenges.

Without further adieu, Donnie's Domain presents The Bug Blog Ladybug Edition, the big reveal of his review of Safariology Science- The Life Cycle of a Ladybug from Safari Ltd.

The Life Cycle of a Ladybug
Can you imagine that just one female ladybug can destroy a whole nest of aphids? The way that ladybugs are capable of doing such damage is by laying eggs in an aphid nest and then they leave. The newborn larvae hatch from these eggs and eat as many aphids as they possible which eventually destroys the nest of aphids.
The pupa stage is the most dangerous phase of development for ladybugs, this is time when the soft, young ladybugs are developing their hardened protective outer wings. Adult ladybugs are known to have mastered some complicated defense strategies. One strategy is to release a very foul odor, emitted from pores on their underbelly to repel predators such as birds, frogs wasps and dragonflies. Another defense mechanism is to "reflex bleed" from their joints to make themselves taste too disgusting for most predators to eat. Ladybugs have even been known to play dead or play "turtle." Adult ladybugs are able to tuck their legs into their dome and pull their heads in. This protective position makes it hard for predators to grab the ladybugs.
