These little ones aren't playing choo choo - Axion plagiatum

Craig Park, Fullerton, Orange County, California, USA
June 2, 2007

While this is likely a lethal attack, the larger ladybird larva seemed indifferent to what was going on.

Moved

Moved from Chilocorinae.

The number and location of spines on the thoracic segments match Axion.

Moved

Moved from Larvae.

Ron did say specifically that he wanted one image under Lacewings and another under Coccinellidae, so back to Coccinellidae this goes.

It's definitely Chilocorinae, but might be Axion rather than Chilocorus. Good thing we've got subfamilies :-)

#115293 Identification – Chrysopidae sp. (upper left)

Identification. Suggest moving to Chrysopidae: No Taxon Larvae. Interesting photo. From the position of the chrysopid's legs, it looks like its doing all it can to hold on as it is being dragged around by the larger beetle larva.
