Harlequin Ladybird larvae on a nettle stem!

They are the ugly duckling of the insect family, the unusual larvae are quite unlike any other insect.
So continuing with my The Secrets of my hedgerow,
I found many lady bird larvae in varying stages of development, below.




Many more in my Or more Ladybirds in my Ladybird gallery,

Their little armour backing reminds me of something that some punks used to wear back in the day!
