With Picture Insect’s help, I learned that this species is a Multicolored asian ladybeetle. You should check it out!

Yep, that’s a ladybug larva! They look like tiny spiky goths or miniature dragons, but they are absolute garden warriors. That little guy will devour hundreds of aphids a day for you!

It sure is! The first time I saw one I almost mashed it because it looked scary! I ened up using my insect ID App to identify it. Im sure glad I did, because that's the stage they eat the most bad bugs!
