Order

Four stages

Number egg, larva, pupa, and adult in the order they actually happen, then sketch each stage.

Match

Who is who

Match the spotless native, the convergent beetle with two pale lines, and the Asian lady beetle that clusters in houses.

Scavenger

Yard hunt

Walk the yard and check off dill or another umbel, a flower in bloom, a hunter, and a leaf you leave alone.

Art

Draw a crate label

Draw Orlando Ladybug inside a double-rule oval, with a Central Florida plant, in ink — not clipart stickers.

Web

Aphid food web

Label the chain from plant to aphid to larva to adult, then the flower that feeds the adult when prey is thin.

Color

Color the beetle

Color the lithograph beetle inside the ink lines. The drawing is art for the journal, not a field key.
