Yes, this is a ladybug larva, I have several as well. They eat enormous amounts of aphids while growing up, I love those tiny killer babies.
WOO! I was sincerely hoping to get more ladybugs then! I haven't seen any aphids, but want the ladies around in case!
If you haven't seen any aphids then that's probably the ladybugs already working.
They're such voracious & vicious predators. Watch them feast up close — magnified, if you dare. 😱🤘🏼
