What Our Experiment is About

Ladybugs in Space will show how micro-gravity will affect the life cycle of a ladybug. We feel that it is important to discover how micro-gravity could affect ladybugs so that in the future, if there are gardens in space, astronauts and scientists will be able to prevent pests like aphids from destroying food resources.

We expect that micro-gravity will speed up the process, that typically takes 26-54 days (from egg to adult) on earth.

While the ladybugs are in space, we will be conducting a ground truth test to monitor our findings and document our results. We will compare our findings after the mission returns back to earth.

Day 7 - Ugh!! When are we going to do anything fun!?

"ABCDEFGHIJK... come on we can't even sing our ABC's! Man, we are never going to do anything fun!" the ladybugs say every day. The ladybugs still have not laid their eggs. (assuming they are going to lay eggs...) But they probably won't for a while because of the info me and my mom read about them yesterday.
