i thought this colorful little critter was a pest,
but it is a ladybug larva and it's eating aphids.
i saw it at the county senior garden the other day.

you're welcome, angela...first one i ever saw, too. the ladybugs goes through the egg, larvae, pupa, and adult stages.
it takes about a week for the little yellow colored eggs to hatch, then it remains in the larva stage for about 3 weeks, then it pupates and
becomes an adult. the boys are called ladies too...lol.
