Ladybird Larvae and Aphids

The apple trees in Sheila's garden are full of Greenfly and Whitefly, a great diet for the many ladybird larvae in the apple trees. Jane and I attempted to photograph them in Sheila's garden room.The first image shows the aphid consuming a greenfly. Then the larva shedding its skin - coming out without pigmentation on head. When full grown, the larvae pupate and finally the adult ladybird emerges
