LADYBUG SEASON The cold, higher elevation canyons LADYBUG SEASON

The cold, higher elevation canyons of the Los Padres are known (among other reasons) as the overwinter home for millions of Ladybug Beetles (Hippodamia convergens). If you know where to look, you can find them hibernating on rocks, leaf litter, and trees in masses called “lovelinesses”. But, have you ever seen the next generation hatch and fly away in the springtime?

LPFA volunteers were lucky to witness the massive exodus of the 2026 class of ladybugs on our recent Working Vacation on the Piedra Blanca Trail. Eggs hatch and go through a larval stage earlier in spring, and when the temperatures warm, they finish their pupal stage and molt into adults over the course of about one week. This makes for quite the show as the new adults take flight. Ever seen clouds of ladybugs like this?
