Ladybird Larvae and Pupae

[PeterD]

I have taken numerous images of ladybird pupae and larvae but wonder if it is posible to identify the ladybird at these stages of their lives.

This is one I had previously ID'd as Harlequin.

Again, I have noted various different colour pupae.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The first is a larva of Coccinella septempunctata, 7-spot ladybird.
Second, as you surmise, is pupa of Harmonia axyridis, 'harlequin' ladybird.
