The Lifecycle of a Ladybird

Everyone knows the life cycle of a Butterfly and a Frog, but not that many people know the life cycle of a Ladybird. Here it is: First, as most insects, and Egg. Then, comes a Larvae that most people find around June/July, which is black, with orangy-yellow spots everywhere. Then, it turns into a Chrysalis, and after around a week or two, it emerges into a yellow Ladybird, which slowly changes colour into the common red Ladybird everybody sees. Here is a picture of the black Larvae:
