| | | Larvae & Pupa ID
Found lots of these is riverside vegitation of the Thames in Wiltshire.
Some where free running, the two in the picture are anckored to the leaf, and the second picture looks like the pupa of the same thing. Anyone know what they are? My best quess is ladybird larvae.

Good guess, they are harlequin ladybird larvae. They anchor themselves to the leaf as they prepare to pupate.
