Ladybird Larva (Harlequin) (Harmonia axyridis)

            This is a macro photograph of the larval stage of a ladybird.
This larva is a lively little insect that rummages around looking for food, little insects to prey on, it does look spiky, but does have beautiful markings!
Although you may not want one crawling 
on you though!!!!!
This is the insect that emerges from the ladybird eggs after hatching.
This insect transforms into a pupa, and then into the gardeners friend the beautiful Ladybird!
Although if this is a Harlequin Ladybird then this is an invasive Ladybird, and no so good! as this would be an invasive insect and could endanger some of our 48 types we have here in Britain, or indeed possibly wipe most of them out!
