Nice ones, especially the larva. I have only seen one in real life, although have seen the ladybird eggs shortly after she cleared my plant of greenfly

Actually, I was just thinking that we should have a ladybird thread, i.e. lots of photos of the different patterned/coloured ones.. I know that I have 4 or 5 different ones somewhere.

Here's a couple of mine. The second one doesn't show the pattern , but shows it doing what it does best... eating greenfly!!!

Thanks. yours is good too. Grusome little beasts aren't they ?

... not when they are clearing my herbs and veg, then they are just lovely

Yes I supose. They look so cute until thay fly at you. I love watching them open their wings to fluy I find it fascinating.
