Naemia seriata

Yes, this matches exactly with the description(1) of Naemia seriata, including the "dorsolateral strumae of abdominal terga 1-8 bearing 4 chalazae, 2 anteriorly, 2 posteriorly", seen best in your image on the 3 - 5 terga. (translation: the medial dark spots on each abdominal segment have 4 "hairs" or setae, 2 hairs toward the front of each spot and 2 toward the aft)

nice image!

Yes, ladybug larva

We have lots of unidentified coccinellid larvae. Let us hope that an expert comes along and helps us with this.
