Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle Larva

Gardens, orchards, agricultural fields, and urban areas wherever aphids are present.

Carnivorous; primarily consumes aphids, scale insects, and other soft-bodied garden pests.

Active hunters that crawl along stems and leaves searching for prey. They undergo four larval instars before pupating into adult beetles.

Extremely beneficial for biological pest control in gardens. While the larvae are harmless to humans, the adult form can be a nuisance when they congregate indoors in autumn and may occasionally nip at skin.
