Yucky bug! I didn't know it was a lady bug larvae! It will look much better in a few days! Great macro, btw!

stand in the garden plant a pole in it and set yourself the challenge of only taking shots withing three strides of the pole.
It's amazing wat you will find -

That my dear is a ladybeetle larvae...keepy your eye on it & you will see in a few days a transformation...it will " curl up " stay still for a while then emerge as the one you have just below...nice find, Nicky.
