yep. you can tell byt the pink orange stripe down each side of the abdomen and the 4 pink orange spikes in the middle. Also they can get larger than other ladybird larvae |

TBR. | Yes, almost certainly - the only similar one is the cream-streaked ladybird, Harmonia quadripunctata. Whereabouts are you? |

We've emailed each other before about Harlequins Paul. I'm the one who used to live on the banks of the Lee in Tottenham, and now we live in Reading.
We are noticing Harlequins wherever we go! All over our potato plants (although still outnumbered by the 14-spots) in Reading. All over Wycombe and South Bucks, and of course, all over Tottenham still.

Hello,
I am new to this and have been trying to take a photo of my bamboo that is covered in this larva and then I saw this which is exactly what I couldnt take a photo of - they are all at different stages but some are very big. The smaller ones seem to be black but are not moving so it is hard to tell.
As they are a pest - what should I be doing to them if anything?
I am in Basingstoke and have a bamboo that is covered in these horrid things.
Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Emma |
