probably Axion but can't rule out Chilocorus
It's very hard to count the prothoracic senti here, given the angles of the photos, and I'd need to count 3 for Axion or 5 for Chilocorus. I really can't tell how many there are!

Pupal case
This is the pupal case of some kind of beetle, or parasitic fly. It is encased in the last larval skin. My guess is either a Chrysomelidae leaf beetle, or a Coccinelidae lady beetle. Any other guesses?

I was stumped
Didn't even have a guess, but it does remind me of a lady beetle pupa.
