Re: Undentified Larvae (Ladybirds?)

1. Tytthapis sedecimpunctata 2-3 Instar probrably 3rd, not its final moult. But quite bland compared to most larva.

2. Calvia quattuordecimguttata 2-3 instar again. Quite distinctive from both Adalia sp, due to the white spines, which are more prominant in its final instar.

Ladybird larva pass through four stages (instars).
