Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle Larva

Found on various plants, shrubs, and trees in gardens, agricultural fields, and forests where prey is abundant.

Voracious predator of aphids, scale insects, spider mites, and other soft-bodied agricultural pests.

Larvae are active hunters that move quickly over foliage. They undergo four larval stages (instars) before pupating. They are often called "aphid lions" due to their appetite.

Highly beneficial to ecosystems and gardens as a natural pest control agent. While harmless to humans, they can occasionally nip if they crawl on skin, though they have no venom.
