How long do baby ladybugs live?

  • Answer:

    Lady beetles live for a couple of years. They hibernate in a crevice. She lays 6 - 10 yellow elongate eggs under a leaf. The nymph/caterpillar stage is very active. In NZ (Otago) we have some black ones with red spots/splotches. They used too be collected in huge numbers for the extraction of a red food dye, cochineal. The family is Coccinella.
