Ladybugs at School Project<\/h1>\n

9 Lessons<\/h4>\n

The Ladybugs at School Project aims to map the current distribution of ladybug species across North America to better understand how and why populations of native ladybugs on the continent have declined.<\/p>\n

Project participants find and photograph ladybugs, submitting them to the project website with basic information, or data, including date, location, the photos, a suggested identification, etc.<\/p>\n

In the Ladybugs at School sequence of activities, students work together to answer two overarching questions: Do you see differences in the types and number of ladybugs of each type that you find throughout the school year within your local area? Geographic variance: Do you see the same patterns across locations throughout your state?<\/span><\/p>\n
