I always like a few ladybug shots, but this year I discovered some ladybug larva, including their life cycle.. Some of the pics have focus issues.

Very excited to see something new. Focus issues don’t detract from the novelty. I had no idea, but of course, it makes sense. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Einreb92,
Thank you for your comments. I have been around for a long time photographing stiff, and did not know anything about the life cycle of a ladybug until this year. It has been a learning experience.
Thank you.

Angels, thank you for your comments. I learn something new every day, but ladybugs should have been obvious. The Idaho State Entomologist stopped by the house a couple days ago on his way out of town, but I didn't have time to discuss ladybugs. I think I need a little more information.

Carol, while I out shooting bees and other bugs in my cosmos patch, and noted the ladybugs in various stages of development. After a little research I learned they were really ladybugs. I wish the focus was a little better.
Thank you for your comments.

Hi Angels,
I don't how I lived this long without knowing more about ladybugs and where they came from. I'll have to check out the youtube video.
Thank you for checking out the ladybug pics, you for your comments.
