Here is illustrated picture of Lily Beetle (Lilioceris lilii) life cycle with brave explanation.

1. Eggs Stage. The eggs of red Lily Beetle are lain in rows of about 2-15 eggs on underside of leaves. The size of these eggs are about 1.0 x 0.5 mm and orange in coloration with a sticky orange-red secretion, which help the eggs stick to leaves. This stage usually occur in late spring-summer.
2. Larval Stage.  Red Lily Beetle larvae consist of four larval instars, developmental stages between each moult within larval stage.  Larva are deep orange. The stage last about 10-11 days.  This stage usually occur summer.
3. Pupal Stage. After changing colour from yellow to orange, the pre-pupal larvae bury themselves in the soil and construct well camouflaged cocoon from which the beetle emerges as young adult after 20-22 days of pupation. This stage usually occur in summer-autumn.
4. Adult Stage. The adult over winter in the litter, reemerging in the spring from their hibernation sites and feeds on lilies and fritillaria. This stage usually occur in winter-spring. 

Above are picture of Cotinus texana, a metallic green fig beetle. Cotinus texana also known as Fig Eater or Fig Beetle because it is often found feeding on fig fruits during the warm summer months in southern California. Grouped in order Coleoptera, this beetle has greenish hue on its dorsal surface, and  bears a very smooth surface layer like that seem on some other cetoniines genera. The underside of this beetle is metallic green with 24 – 28 in length. This beetle is active daytime flier. In summer Cotinus texana can be seen moving at high speed.
