There is this weird bug that has appeared at my house. They are all over the place. They are around a quarter inch in length.

Ladybird Beetle Larva

Hi Katherine,
The Ladybird Beetle, or Ladybug as it is more commonly called, is arguably one of the most recognized and best loved bugs, but few people would connect this alligator-like, aphid eating larva as the same insect.  After completing its metamorphosis, this Ladybird Larva will be considerably more recognizable.
