The left diagram illustrates the stages in the life of a lady bird, whereas the right one portrays the anatomy of the insect.
Overall, there are four stages in the life of a lady bird. Initially, the eggs are laid on a leaf, which generally hatch between 2 and 5 days. The larvae emerge from the eggs and continue to grow for around 21 days. Following this, the larvae find a suitable leaf to attach to and pupate for around 7 days. Finally, the adult lady birds break free of the cocoon and continue the life cycle.
The second picture shows that the most distinctive feature of the insect is the crimson elytra that cover its wings.
It possesses three pairs of legs, a round head with a pair of antennae and eyes. It also has a rounded abdomen at the distal end of its body. There is a structure called the pronotum just above the head.
