Question
Do you have any ideas for a project involvinhg ladybugs I could do for the science fair at my school? I'm in 7th grade so i need something a little advanced but i don't want it to involve pesticides!

Answer
Hi Amelia
The only thing I can suggest is a life history study.  You can buy about 1500 ladybugs for under 20 dollars (google "buying ladybugs") Once you get they mate and lay eggs quickly. You can  also try different types of bugs to feed them.  You can let them go in your yard when you are  done.
