| | | Insect for ID
This looks like a ladybird larvae but it was tiny and has white spots not yellow..
can anyone ID it for me..
It was on a pot plant on my patio the plant is silver leafed and I think its a curry plant its not edible its grown for its foliage if this helps with the ID
The plant is covered in aphids. 
Thank you
Elaine  |

It is a ladybird larva. Too young, I think, to identify specifically. It will be feeding on the aphids. |

Hi Elaine,
it is a ladybird larvae. I think it was Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata, but I'm everything but sure.
Regards
Klaas
