Time Lapse of Ladybug Life Cycle

Featured on The Dodo! Your parents never warned you about ladybugs. Here’s the uncensored truth, with crazy banjo music, in extreme close up HD time lapse video. It’s the stuff of nightmares, but thanks so much for subscribing! When #ladybug eggs hatch, the larvae that come out look nothing like adult ladybugs. I think they look like little alligators, but lots of people commenting think the ladybug larvae look like “facehuggers“ from the Alien movies. The larvae feed voraciously on #aphids and other garden pests before they form pupas, which you can watch here. People are surprised to learn that there’s cannibalism in the world of #ladybugs.
