Leiden, Netherlands
ladybird larva, has eaten all the aphids on this leaf (you can see the puncture marks they've caused). Don't know yet which kind of ladybird this is.

Just kidding Ruud :-)
But it is certainly a interesting story about this larve. Maybe you can follow it till it becomes a ladybird. Would be nice !

No Oscar, I didn't interfere with it in any way. They're precious, each will eat about 300 aphids before turning into a ladybird..
