This one is Coccinella septempunctata,Sevenspotted Lady Beetle on a Hepatica nobilis..
Life cycle of the ladybug is between 4 to 6 weeks. In spring adults lay up to 300 hundred eggs in an aphid colony. The eggs hatch in 2 to 5 days. The newly hatched larvae feed on aphids for up to 3weeks, and then they enter the pupa stage. The adult ladybug emerges about a week later. However, they usually do not have their spots for their first 24 hours of adulthood. There may be as many as six generations. |
