We are so excited to welcome our new ladybug friends to our class. They arrived in a tube along with instructions for proper care.
We opened the tube...
...shook out the ladybug larva (baby ladybugs) into their house...
...and took turns observing our new specimens.
Every other day Morah Rena squeezes a few drops of water onto their sponge so they'll have plenty to drink.
We'll check on our ladybugs every day to see their progress from larva to pupa (sleeping in their shells) to fully-formed adults! Once they have all transformed we will set them free outside. What a tangible science experience!
