  A ladybird larva on a ladybird poppy.  Looking at the chart, it's perhaps a seven spot (with an orange head). 
  

  🐞

  I am finding that slugs don't like to predate poppies in my garden, which is rather exciting. Something else that I can grow!

  I currently have ladybird larvae on my achilleas
  I'd rather they were on my adjacent rose chomping on the aphids but I guess they know what they're doing?

  I just relocate mine @februarysgirl I should probably keep my beak out, but sometimes they're on the few non aphid infested plants I have!

  I've been checking every leaf and flower head I prune in case a ladybird is hiding.

  I'll give them their due, they have cleared the achilleas of aphids 😂
