After we got the habitat, we went online and put in the coupon code, and a few days later, we had our ladybug larvae. All we had to do was open the viewing top and gently put the larvae and the food into the habitat. We also had to moisten the sponge with water so they would have some water.
They were really small and looked a little like baby alligators! They ate and ate and after a week or so looked this this:
Then after a few more days they began making their way to the top of the habitat.
They sat up at the top for a few days, kind of curled up, and then they turned into these:
To feed the ladybugs, we put in some wet raisins.
After watching the ladybugs for a few days, we decided to set them free.
We had a great time with our ladybugs! It was a great, hands on, fun science project!
