Field Notes

Description:

My bronze fennel plant attracted a lot of insects this year. In addition to the black swallowtails I planted it for I had a lot aphids. The aphids attracted ladybugs and lacewings.

This is a collage of the stages of a ladybug from larva to adult.

Nice collage. It looks like you have at least two different species though. The adults are Seven-spot Ladybird Beetles and the two small images on the bottom right are from the Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle. I'm not sure about the top left pupa group. Many species of Ladybugs/Ladybirds overlap so it's easy to assume they're the same. You'll need to split up the images to show one species per spotting. Thank you for your understanding :)
