Students enjoy “Pink Ladies” from California
Ms. Betty Thomas’ third graders at Ripley
Elementary School have enjoyed a recent study on life cycles.
The students have observed Pink Ladybugs go through their life
cycle stages of egg, larvae, pupa, and adult. The eggs were
shipped from California, arriving in a test tube with food and
water. Students then placed the bugs in Ladybug Land domes,
which allowed the children to handle them and observe daily
changes. The children eagerly discussed changes in watching the
ladybugs hatch, grow, and turn a beautiful pink with black dots.
