I’ve got a ton of the larvae stage in my garden right now. Can’t wait til they eat all the aphids! Just got to keep them away from my baby caterpillars…

The ladybird larve are everywhere at the moment in my area , unfortunately they are seriously outnumbered by aphids ..there are literally millions of them. Every Sycamore leaf I have looked under has hundreds of individuals on them.

Nice images. Would be easier viewing for folks if one didn't have to click on all the links. The last two have no photos.

I could see these shots set into one frame and hung in the greenhouse or something. What great shots.

Wonderful set! Ioawa 90mm macro, so manual focus, yes? On a tripod or hand-held?
