o dios mio! i cannot believe i've been killing them. i hope the lady beetles continue to produce their larva on this plant. the squishing has stopped completely...i feel terrible, i really hate myself right now although this is not the first miserable mistake i've made. we do have a few different kinds. I think these particular larva come from all red lady beetles (no spots or dots) because these are the lady beetles that have been making this plant home, i also have mostly black lady beetles with 2 bright orange to red spots on each wing and the image i have attached to this post shows their larva so i assumed all lady beetle larva would be similar. we are lucky to have you and moonhowl on this forum. the information you provide is truly valuable. thank you Flapdoodle.
