How old will a ladybug be?
It's a small beetle, with a hemisphere on its back. This dotted animal has small short legs, which it can easily retract. In the Netherlands and Belgium there are no less than 60 species of these butterbugs! Most eat aphids, fungi and plants, but you also have them that are vegetarians, those celestial creatures eat only green food.
I used to be told that you can see from the dots how old a Jesus-bug is. But none of that is true at all. One more childhood memory that falls apart. Like many other insects, this oil animal only grows about 1 year old. Usually a little shorter.
The best-known lovebird has 7 black dots. He (or she) is seven-dot. But there are also, with more or less dots.Have you seen a ladybug and want to know what species it is? Then look at the table of Stippen.nl And iI came across something very nice. Namely all kinds of names such as a ladybug is called, but in different regions. I certainly can't remember this list!
