Transcription: The larva that hatches out of a ladybug egg is covered with spines that protect it from predators. When it has eaten enough, it settles underneath a leaf and turns into a pupa. Inside the pupa, body parts are rearranged to produce the adult form, a ladybug. When it emerges, it is yellow and soft, but it soon turns red and hardens. The way that a ladybug changes shape during its lifetime is called complete metamorphosis. you
