Ant, which eat ladybug eggs, are worth distance points. In other words,
the better marksmen you are, the more points you will score in killing ants. If an
ant eats your ladybug eggs, 1000 points will be deducted from your score.
Base points: 5 points With distance and tilting: up to 250 points |

Red Ladybugs: Yes, you can target the ladybugs! And they are worth some significant
points. However, this is one of those calculated risks of managing your ecosystem. If you
calculate incorrectly and kill all your ladybugs and larvae at a time when there are no eggs
to hatch, the game is limited in opportunities for points. Eggs will be replenished as long as you have at least one
Ladybug or Larvae to develop into a Ladybug.
Base points: 500 points With distance and tilting: up to 1300 points |

Eggs: There will only be one set of eggs to protect at a time and they appear periodically
when there is a mature ladybug in play. Ants and the Redback spider eat the eggs and 1000 points
will be deducted from your score. Eggs are not affected by the ball. They are not affected
by the Ladybugs, Larvae or Red Velvet Mite walking over them. Bonus: kill all ladybugs,larvae,pupa and eggs are left 5000 points |

Larvae: Its in the best player's interest to let the Larvae grow up into Ladybugs,
as Ladybugs are more valuable, but if Larvae are killed they are worth the same as ants.
Base points: 5 points With distance and tilting: up too 250 points |

Pupa: They do not move and so are not worth anything if they are hit. If they hatch you are awarded 100 points for each. |

Blue Ladybugs: If a ladybug lives long enough to see her eggs hatch into
mature Ladybugs, she turns blue. The blue state is worth significantly more points.
Base points: 1500 points With distance and tilting: up to 3300 points |
![]() |
Red Velvet Mite: Although harmless in your ecosystem, all bugs avoid the the
Red Velvet Mite and move away from it. He does not eat eggs or any other
character in the ecosystem.
Base points: 250 points With distance and tilting: up to 3600 points. |
![]() |
Redback Spider: This is the most dangerous character in the ecosystem. He eats
anything, all stages of ladybugs, the mite and the ants. As with the ant, 1000 points
are deducted if the eggs are eaten. You lose no points for losing any of the other characters,
but you lose the opportunity to make the points those characters represent.There is only
one Redback Spider.
Base points: 250 points With distance and tilting: up to 3600 points. |

The environment: All the bugs exist on a single leaf. As the game gets closer to the time limit, the leaf will turn yellow and at the very end, red. A player may make different choices to gain points as the end of the game approaches. |
