What is this?
« on: January 28, 2012, 15:26 »
Found this last summer, walking across my green bin.

Took a picture (obviously) and the next time I looked.... It had changed colour!  :ohmy:

Any ideas what it is?

My thought process is NOT illogical...It's just a form of intellect so amazing it has yet to be appreciated by mainstream society ;)

Two different kinds of Ladybird larvae, and i would think the first one is a Harlequin...
Here's a list...

Second picture might be a native 7 spot or an Eyed ladybird....

Looking on the linky, they almost look like pests that would either bite or sting!!  :ohmy:  :blink:

At least now I'll know to to leave them alone to do thier bit against aphids etc.  :happy:
