                The ladybird (also known as the ladybug) is a small colourful beetle found all around the world. There are thought to be more than 5,000 different species of ladybirds in the world, with more than 450 species found in North America alone.

                Ladybirds are small sized insect rarely growing to more than a centimeter in length. They have black legs and brightly coloured shell which protects the wings of the ladybirds, concealed beneath the spots. They are best known for its spotted body, which is normally red and black, but often orange and yellow are found.

                The female ladybirds can lay more than 2,000 eggs one year that hatch in just a few days. The ladybird larvae hatches out of the eggs and looks nothing like an adult ladybird as the ladybird larvae is long in shape and is generally one colour. After a couple of weeks, the ladybird larvae evolves into a ladybird pupa which is about the same size and colour as an adult ladybird but has a protective layer surrounding it, until it has developed its wings. Once the ladybird pupa has developed, it breaks out of the skin surrounding it to become an adult ladybird.

                Due to climate changes and habitat loss, the ladybird is now considered to be one of the animal species that is threatened with extinction. It has been noted that ladybirds are particularly sensitive to temperature and will die from dehydration if it is much hotter than it should be.

Dear Emy,

                My family and I went on trip to Solo. We went on Monday by car and stayed at my grandparents’ house.

               On Tuesday we went to Tawangmangu. We enjoyed the scenic view of its waterfall and had lunch there. They served traditional cuisine like wedang ronde, tempe bacem, fried fish, and fried chicken. After that, we continued our journey to Taman Jurug.

               The next day we went to Kasunanan Palace. We saw a lot of historical heritages in the palace. After that, we went shopping to Klewer market and Solo Grand Mall. I bought some souvenirs for my cousins. In the evening, we went sightseeing the town.
