Freshly hatched from larval state, they are bright and wet looking. The colour deepens and spots appear after the shell hardens

Thanks for the information! I had never seen a freshly hatched ladybug before, so I was curious about its unusual color. I learned something new today. 🐞😊

One summer my yard was overrun with them 🥰They were everywhere, so I saw a lot of them fresh hatched. I also had, another year, pink lady bugs, that were smaller.

Wow, pink ladybugs? I've never seen those before! Your yard sounds like it was a ladybug paradise that summer. 😊🐞

What a gorgeous little find! The yellow on this one is so vibrant is it a 22 spot ladybug or a different variation?

Thank you! 😊 The yellow was incredibly vibrant in person and immediately caught my attention. I'm not entirely sure if it's a 22-spot ladybug or another variety, so I'm looking forward to learning from the experts here. 🐞
