Good Bug Thread

Place for pics of the good bugs.

I'm sure everyone knows what a Lady Bug or Lady Bird Beetle looks like (depending on your part of the planet on the name), but will post a pic anyway along with pics of the black alligator looking things with yellow spots which is the Lady Bug's Larvae:

Cool -so bug porn is ok?

Man 2nd and 3rd pic creeps me out with all the pests. What are those aphids? whiteflies?

thanks for starting this -it will be handy to have reference pics. I wonder if it would be good to have pest pics for symptoms or identification purposes?

Root Aphids I think or what guys thought at Hydro Store a few years back when we had a Hydro Store in town....as I thought they were fungus gnats but they said didn't look right and got pics of the young and they decided that. The Lady Bugs worked that year and I hadn't seen any for a couple years, not sure what changed or just one of them years the weather been right for it.
