Ugly bug diner

 

Not sure you can get much uglier than a ladybird larvae  

 Collage of them munching away

I came across them on one of my globe thistles 

Which came as a surprise because I hardly saw any last year

The one good this is they were eating the blackfly on the thistle 

 

Ugly critters 

But they eat the blackfly and turn into beautiful ladybirds 

Take care

Some of the critters we don't like but they help us keep down other insects.

I've seen many ladybirds but never their larvae. Pretty cool.
