Ladybird Beetle Larva - Harmonia axyridis

Ladybird Beetle Larva - Harmonia axyridis
Norris City, White County, Illinois, USA
May 4, 2007
Size: Approx. 1/2 in. long
This is another strange insect I've never seen before. It had spikes all over it's body and they were light-colored towards the middle. I saw a couple crawling up the side of a tree trunk and then this one fell onto a leaf. I don't know if it's full-grown or just a nymph. Maybe the image is good enough for someone to recognize what it is.

Good move!
We seem to have this one figured out now.

Ladybird beetle larva - ugly, huh?
I think it's Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle (Harmonia axyridis), mostly because of the box on its back. They're one of the few identified here. Look for pupas next - sort of beetle-shell-like, he said with exceptional scientific precision.

Ladybug larva
Probably Harmonia axyridis, the Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle.
