Hi We have just found this bugs, mainly the orange, ladybird looking ones on my mother’s stone fruit trees. They seem to be have suckers inbedded in the bark and the tree seems to be really struggling. She is in Adelaide, South Australia, it is currently Spring.
Thanks so much.
Alison.

Hi Alison,
You have sent us photos of the pupae and a larva of some Lady Beetle.  We presume they are the same species.  They appear to be Common Spotted Ladybirds,
Harmonia conformis, based on photos posted to the Brisbane Insect website.
