Time Lapse of Ladybug Life Cycle (6 million views)

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. The ladybug in this video is an Asian ladybug, one of 5000 species of ladybug/ladybird/lady beetle. There’s a ton of variation of color and spots, which can take days to be fully revealed.

[@AnzuMiruku]

These are actually Asian lady beetles. I once had one land on my hand at work and my young students came running up to me to admire it. Then it suddenly laid an egg on my finger. We were all so amazed and I immediately started thinking about how to safely relocate it into a terrarium so the kids could observe its life cycle. Then the beetle turned around and ate the egg right in front of us. 😂 Still an interesting and educational experience!

[@elijahrathon6011]

Bro no way💀💀

[@sarahMuahahaha]

Omg.. haha, I came here to make the same comment!! They are Asian lady beetles. They have more than 5 polka dots and the white "M" mark on their head is always a give away that it's not a "true" ladybug.

[@tissuepaper9962]

Honestly it isn't a bad strategy. If she thought your finger wasn't a great place to lay an egg but she had to anyway, better to eat it and roll those resources back into a new egg in a better spot. Kind of like a period for a lady bug.

Imagine being an insect and having all this crazy stuff happen to you and you have no idea why. "Ok time to shed that skin, I've been through this before so I know what to expect. Oh, I guess I'm a pupa this time. All the other times I shed my skin I kept the same form, but okay I guess. Oh snap I can't move, well I guess I'll just stay in this one place for a while. Finally I'm able to escape. Why was I stuck inside myself for so long? Oh well, I'm free now. Hey look, I have wings now. Sweet."

As I kid I once caught a lady bug and put it in a jar with some rose branches and a magnifying glass on top. She blessed me with her babies and I got to observe this. Most interesting experience you can have as a kid. I took care of her babies to make sure they had enough food and set them free after they had grown up. Would definitely recommend this to parents.

[@DjDragon440]

I had a similar experience. I caught one from my school, took it home, then put her in a container that had tubes and other things she could crawl around in. I named her Rocky and soon after she layed some eggs. After that, I watched everyday to see if they made it, and when they hatched, I let Rocky and her children free. God I hope she didn't eat them as soon as they left the container.

I read lady bugs like mushrooms. I normally eat portabello and white button. So, I just leave one out. It stays on the mushroom all day. When the mushroom drys out. I replace it or keep it moist.

When my son was about 11 years old he entered a Jaycee Relay Race. He’d never ran track before and didn’t know everybody wore shorts. He came in jeans, to everyone’s amusement. He ran the last leg for his team - and came away the fastest runner of the day, and made up considerable distance to win. This video made me think of that day. How I wish I had been able to see it, instead of only hear and read about it. I was a single mom and had to work. My son was an amazing athlete. ❤️

I've known that beetles hatch from their eggs as larvae. But, for some reason, I've always imagined ladybugs to just come out of their eggs as tiny versions of themselves, not as nightmarish worm-like cannibals.

So cool, I actually happen to run into ladybug larvae all the time in my backyard. I always catch them crawling on me. I never kill them because I didn’t know what they’d become if left alone. Now I’m very glad I didn’t see them as pest. Turn out I had future ladybugs crawling on me the whole time! Which are very beneficial to my garden!

I used to see ladybugs all the time growing up in Wisconsin. Now I've gone years without seeing a single one. I was swimming in Coeur d' Alene, ID one time in the 90's, and saw a large piece of driftwood washed up on the shore. It was covered with what could have been tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of ladybugs. It was wild

[@Lyddiebits]

The spots come soon after they hatch:)

[@COJ.Island]

For ladybugs that have spots, the spots show up gradually. The one in the vid show the "skin" is still wet. Once it gets dry, you can see the spots. 🐞 Pls do check them in my channel. Happy new year. ✌💚☕
