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.

COOL :-)

So a few days ago me and mommy put new ladybugs in the tank (and I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with my posts) and these ladybugs are so much more active in the tank! So me and mommy have decided to keep the lid closed more and not open it. But then it was sooooooo bad when the Easter bunny decided to put an egg in the tank. And I have NO idea how he put it in there without ANY ladybugs flying out. But then again he DOES have the power to make animals do whatever he wants them to. And when I was watering the ladybugs today, I accidentally got a bunch of water in the dry food bucket and the ladybugs made it so hard to put the lid back on.
