Ladybird beetle life history

I took these photos in my back yard. The ladybugs, or ladybird beetles were eating the aphids on my sunflowers. I captured the larva, pupa, pupa cases, and several stages of hatching, and the adults. I believe the eggs in some of the photos are aphid, not ladybug eggs, but I could be wrong. These are Asian ladybird beetle, Harmonia axyridis images.
