Orange Ladybird

These are the larvae of the Orange Ladybird. The 22-spot Ladybird larva is similar but has no areas of white, larger black spots and shorter legs.


These are the pupae of the Orange Ladybird. Both larvae and pupae are to be found all over one of my Birch trees at the moment.

Orange Ladybird - Not

My original posting said -
The Orange Ladybird (Halyzia 16-guttata) is a woodland species that particularly likes Sycamore but in my garden there are a number of their larvae and pupae on the Birch. But Oops - having found some more ladybird larvae photos I now think these are possibly two-spot or seven spot. They certainly are not Orange Ladybird.
