As you might recall there has been another slightly less fascinating attraction in our house.

The ladybug larvae.

They started their time here like this.


When they first arrived we thought there were 7 or maybe 8 larvae but as time went on we counted more and more. A couple times we found some of them on the outside of the plastic and feared a break out but the more we found extra in Ladybug Land the more we wondered if they were in fact recruiting.

The day before we we had our little Elijah we noticed that the larvae had begun to turn into pupae. By then we were counting 10.


By the time we brought our little man home they were all in the pupae stage and being immobile we were able to count 11.

Then today we peered into Ladybug Land to find a real live LADYBUG!


We're so excited!
