Pupa's

All my Ladybugs are in there Pupa's now. They look like small balls. The ladybugs should emerge in about five days.

Then I will watch then for awhile, then release them. It takes about four days for the whole process, from larva to pupa.

Why?

I had two females and one male in my sea money tank. Both my females were pregnant as you may remember. I was so exited that I was going to have more sea monkeys.

And then one of my females died then about a week latter the other female died. I have no clue why they died. They still had some eggs in there sacks when they died. I am hoping they released a few eggs at least, so they will hatch.If nothing happens in a few weeks I am going start all over from the beginning.

Shedding

My ladybugs have been shedding there skins. They have got quite big. It is fun to watch them.

When the shed there skins they stick to the side on the house. Affter they shed them they look like little cocoons with wholes in the bottom.

Kit Plane

We had a kit airplane. We put it together and painted it. It was fun to play with. You have to be patient and let each layer of paint dry. But when the plane was done it was really nice. The plane lasted for a long time. The prop eventually broke off. My brother kept it for quite awhile after that.
