This is the first photograph I've tried posting on this blog, so please bear with me. Many of you may not know what ladybugs (or ladybird beetles, if you prefer) look like in the larval stage. Much like butterflies look completely different than they do as caterpillars, ladybugs don't look at all the same as their corresponding larvae. I hate to think that people take one look at them as larvae and reach for a can of bug spray, and even wonder later 'where are all the ladybugs?' Also, it's nice to know that ladybug larvae also consume pesky aphids.
