Eeeeuw, What is it?

7 Jul, 2009

 

It's the larvae of a ladybird in the last stage of it's transition from Larvae to beetle. I think the piece below and to the left is the cast off skin of the larvae.

You and Bb /Jane are so good at wild-life photos. Maybe I am not patient enough??

You don't need to be so patient Spritz but you do need to look and to keep a camera with you at all times.

And THAT'S how I got the photo of the ladybird! :-)

10 Jul, 2009

 

So your well on the way then.

Great shot Toto, do you happen to know how long it takes the beetle to go from stage one to it's final stage ? More man, I need more....lol
