Interesting larvae for sure. Nature even makes larvae colorful! Nice capture.

I like that colour combination, black and orange, i wonder if they are poisonous or toxic. Nice shot, sharp and clean, good job slowing down the shutter (tripod i assume) and making up for light with no flash in this, looks sharp and exposure looks good. Well done

Thank you much appreciated. They feed on aphids and sometimes they just stop. I got lucky with this one.

Why are there all these white hairs on the larva? I know it only without and I'm a bit confused if it's dust or something like that? But it's nevertheless a great photo! Well spotted!
