Have you known that this larva is a real aphid killer machine? It eats one aphid after another the whole day.
So this larva is sold by some shops and you can buy it for your garden if you've a problem with aphids and don't want to use poison.

Did not knew that information Helix_2648 . That’s good to know for people who does gardening. Regarding image, I would love see the bottom slightly bright , maybe increasing the shadow could help that.

No Jack. I don't search for a specific insect. I take pictures of what I can find.
