trees, etc. These are attractive red or yellow or gray colored insects. Many species of this insect

Answer:

a)Ladybird beetle larvae go through metamorphosis to become adults, too. After spending about two weeks inside their cocoon, or sometimes less, the adult beetle comes out into the world. Adult beetles will live for around three years or so. During that time, they will lay eggs and create several new generations.

b)Lady beetles vary in color as red, orange, pink, or yellow with black spots. They can also be black with red spots.

c) Ladybugs complete metamorphosis like butterflies. After the pupa stage, they emerge as mature adult ladybugs. When temperatures drop below 55 in the winter, ladybugs go through diapause or hibernation. They can survive in this state for up to 9 months!

d)Most ladybugs voraciously consume plant-eating insects, such as aphids, and in doing so they help to protect crops. Ladybugs lay hundreds of eggs in the colonies of aphids and other plant-eating pests
