I have been watching a ladybird pupae for over 7 days, she finally emerged and I was able to take a series of images as she came out.
When ladybirds hatch they are yellow and have no spots, it takes about 24 hours to turn red and her white faded spots will turn black.
It was quite a special moment lol!
Starting to emerge;
Finally out and waiting for her spots!
