Ladybugs Reproduction: Ladybugs are sexual. When a female and a male ladybug find each other, the male grips the female from behind and holds on tight. They can stay together for more than 2 hours at a time. Female ladybugs can store a male's sperm for 2-3 months before laying eggs

Squirrel Monkeys Reproduction: Squirrel Monkeys are sexual. Females prefer the sexually mature males that gain the most weight during the two months prior to the breeding season, which lasts from early August to early October. In order to determine sexual receptivity, groups of males chase and grab a female, holding her down to inspect her genitalia. Gestation (pregnancy) lasts 145 days and the birth season lasts from February to early April.

Squirrel Monkeys are usually pregnant for about 145 days and ladybug eggs hatch in about 3 to 4 weeks.
