A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Coccinella septempunctata
Each species of ladybug has its own pheromones for attracting a mate. When they find each other, the male grips the female from behind and holds on tight. They can copulate (stay together) for more than 2 hours at a time. Female ladybugs can store a male's sperm for 2-3 months before laying eggs. Ladybugs tend to lay their eggs where food is abundant. http://www.ladybuglady.com/ladybugmating...
