First time finding these little larvae. Amazing to think they become Ladybugs

Another one of the Larvae, this one appeared to have the exo-skeleton of a spider caught on it... ooh and it was having a tasty treat

It looks like the exo-skeleton ended up in the Honey.

Good shots and find Ian, keep an eye on them as they shed their skins several times, well worth catching!

Thanks all, very much appreciated

George, I must admit, I'll probably have a hard time finding them again. I set them loose in a large clump of ferns we have in the garden and I doubt I'll find them again hehe. Mind you, I found these on a tree in next doors front garden. It overhangs the pavement a little and when I spotted them I took them indoors haha.
