rodeo_joe1 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 It's difficult to believe that this ugly, spiny thing turns into a Ladybird (ladybug). I don't know if they have a common name, but I suggest Iggly-squiggly-ugly-bug. Tech data: 55mm f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor+PK-13 + cheap Centon ringlight on a D7200. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Parsons Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Think this might be another Ladybird larva - can anyone confirm, please ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodeo_joe1 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 [ATTACH=full]1393569[/ATTACH] Think this might be another Ladybird larva - can anyone confirm, please ? Indeed it is. Apparently it takes about 5 days in that chrysalis stage for the larvae to turn into the adult beetles. The empty husk of the larval skin is left behind after the beetle emerges, and that's what your shot appears to show. The live chrysalis is redder in colour; closer to the colour of the adult ladybird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
