Today I did a closer inspection of the leaves. Couldn't find hardly any aphids or whiteflies anywhere. What I did find I think were exoskeletons. But there were lots of signs of the ladybugs.
Just a few leftovers...
Lots going on here but I think it's a bunch of skins and a very full larvae. Many of them are belly up.
A few here and there but I think they're more exoskeletons
More of the same
There were dozens of larvae, many were sitting still, probably full and more small larvae crawling around.
Woah! Maybe they're running out of aphids because it looks like this larvae is eating the ladybug pupa. Yes, they are cannibalistic!
More pupa.
I saw some ladybugs too.
So far so good!
