Little Ladybug Living Life

Ladybugs have long life spans compared to many other insects.  From egg to larvae to pupa to adult takes just a month, but they can easily live for a couple of years as an adult.   Have you ever wondered where they go in  the winter?  Like bears, they hibernate; and they hibernate in groups.  Except for those who can find shelter in a house, or in this ladybugs case, in Country Gardens Nursery.  I couldn't help but see quite a few of these wonderful little creatures the other week when wandering through the nursery gardens.  I can't think of a more perfect place for a ladybug to over-winter than in a bright and lush nursery.   I;m sure this little guy would be a snowbird if he were human.
