Lady Beetle Larvae

Well this larvae is attaching itself to this leaf to pulpate. Depending on temperature and species
a new lady beetle will hopefully emerge within a week. Hopefully, I will get a pic of the new lady
beetle.

Wonderful shot. Very interesting photo and educational too. Now I know how lady beetle larvae looks like though it looks little crippy.. ewww! :o)

Hard to believe this eventually becomes a ladybug. It sure bears no resemblence to that particular bettle. Super close ups and educational as well.

They are such interesting creatures. I enjoy watching them in my garden. Laughing at Steven Jusczyks funny comment :-)

I'm with Steven ... I think I'm going to love her more as a lady bird! ;)
