  • Re: Help to identify please, might have something to do with Ladybirds

    Help to identify please, might have something to do with Ladybirds?
    1st one also with eggs, which it was either protecting or was too frightened to move, is on a Plum Tree.

    2nd one on an Apple tree(no eggs in sight) now plenty of predators inc hover flies.
    3rd 0ne (definately L/B Larvae) looks like big brother and little sister on another apple tree.
    These trees have been home to many Aphids (this year and last)
    Sorry couldn't focus on big brother at the same time as little sister!

    The first two are lacewing larvae I think. The third is an ant lion (ladybird larva). I don't know what the eggs are, but I assume the lacewing was checking to see if it was food.
