It started with this "spiky" caterpillar...
... who decided to start its first phase of life on my ornamental onion. (I had no clue what it was, but google lens told me it was the larva of a ladybug)
a bit of a gothic-look
After a few days, this happened... google told me that this phase would last about 7 days (so I could have a bit of rest)
and after exactly 7 days I found this new born ladybug in the morning
first tricks on a leaf
"this made me"
seeking the comfort of the pupa again
still a bit scary in the big world....
and the next morning this beauty emerges on a blooming onion
it took off into the big world that morning...
That was not the end of this story... It looks like my terras is quite popular amongst spiky caterpillars... a new born ladybug, this time "caught in the act"
let's stay here for a while...
now it is showing of; about an hour old and it already caught its first lice!
pumping blood into the wings
it is still around in the afternoon
