Never seen a ladybird larvae myself (not even a slightly blurry one ) but I've seen enough pictures on here to recognise one

The subject is a bit too central in most of these. That second one particularly with the nice diagonal leaf would look a lot better with the bug on a third.

A bit too much green and not enough other colours in the picture's for my liking.
Tighter crops of the butterfly's would work better.

 

[Ewan]

Agree with them I do. Tighter crops would greatly improve these shots

Nice shots overall but think that the 2nd could be stunning with a much closer crop

 

[CT]

I agree - nice shots but closer crops all round would really improve them.

You need to learn to bin shots like No3 though.

Thanks guys, i will do a tighter crop,
CT i agree that three is a bin job, just wanted to know what it was.

I think it's a Ladybird larvae - destined to become erm a Ladybird. I could well be wrong though.

No you are right it is the larval stage of Harmonia axyridis, most commonly known as the Harlquin Ladybird. AKA Asian Ladybug.
