The life cycle of a ladybug consists of four stages i.e. eggs, larva, pupa and ladybug. Here are pictures that represent the 3rd stage i.e. pupal stage of a lady bug. When the larva mature it attaches itself to a plant leaf or stem to pupate. The pupal stage of a ladybug remains for about 5 to 7 days.
