I just found a bunch of these next to where I live, but I don’t know the species. Does anyone know?

Otherwise, does anyone know if there is a plant.net for bugs that works well?

    fascinating that such an intimidating looking lil critter turns into a lady bug.

      To an aphid, an adult ladybug is probably even an more intimidating predator.

        great point, I love the photos of various bugs under super high magnification, cause when you look up close they all look kind of horrifying in a lovecraftian sense

      They’re super awesome though, they’re charming like jumping spiders, but like a different form.
