Hope someone can help identify these ladybird larvae which were photographed at Monkstown Wood, Newtownabbey, N.Ireland. Many thanks.    |

I think all 3 are beetle larvae,
1)possibly 22spot ladybird
2) possibly 14- spot
3) possibly 2 or 7-spot
Rough guesses from memory, Paul, over to you  |

Sorry, this passed me by. You've got it right anyway.
1 22-spot (Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata) - the orange ladybird has yellow larvae but smaller black spots, areas of white and longer legs.
3 7-spot (Coccinella septempunctata) - has eight yellow spots always.
2 most likely 14-spot (Propylea quattuordecimpunctata) - some other species might look a bit like this in some stages but this looks typical.
There are variations depending on the instars of larvae and the larvae of Adalia species (two and ten spots) are just as variable as the 'adults'! Quote: |
