Same date different stages
If all these pictures were taken the same day they are not the same specimen (same individual). It is a very valuable series but you should link them using the markup [thumb#] rather than "same specimen" to avoid providing misinformation.

I just ran across this series and decided to make the changes you mentioned. Images unlinked...

Lady beetle
Can you go back and get a shot of an older adult beetle? From the spots coming in on this one I would guess Seven-spotted, Coccinella septempunctata (1), but seeing one with the spots fully darkened would be better.
