Name: Bee
Happy In my Garden Of W'Eden
A WELCOME VISITOR TO MY GARDEN Smiling
I did recognised it as a Ladybird larvae- but not sure which one as i'd never seen this one in my garden before, a search discovered it was this little garden helper Illeis galbula
"The cool and rainy weather also favours the larvae of the fungus-eating ladybird Illeis galbula. Recent weather conditions favour the growth of fungi that they (adults and larvae) feed on, including sooty mould and powdery mildew."

I posted on my blog that i had, had problems on my Lupins with Powdery Mildew that then had spread to my Calendulas I had applied an Insect friendly homemade solution that had thankfully sorted the Lupins out and now this little sweetie is now living on and hopefully continuing to organically sort out my Calendula's- A real welcome sight I'll say Thumbs up
