Ladybug Lifecycle
Thanks again Shovel, so interesting, nature never ceases to amaze me.
This photographer let loose some ladybugs in the garden to control aphids, and went to town taking pics. Check out the cool lifecycle images!

So, when she did a headstand, it was actually a tailstand, and she was checking you out bro! Here's a tailstand pic from Manny:
I was recently at a farm to table restaurant, walking through the gardens waiting for our table. Saw one of these on a milkweed leaf, thought "that's an interesting looking caterpillar bug thing!".
Well, thanks to this, I now see it was a ladybug Larvae I saw. And they eat aphids at that stage as well - awesome!
Putembk, here's another couple going to town. I think they both have some mischevious looks on their mugs!
NO, we have millions of them. I find the grubs and pupae in soil and see the beetles eating wild grape leaves. It is indeed a ladybug. Well, a little girl bug?
