I would think so although I'm never too happy separating 2-spot from 10-spot (
Adalia decempunctata). The early instars (left) especially ...
Looking forward to more pics ...

I know Ada.bip. has one of the most variable larvae, so I'm thinking this is probably just one of those, but maybe you have another option for it? I'm afraid the logic in that particular set of images is so far gone that I can't find the fitting puppae/bug to go with it ( if it survived) - had a couple of hectic weeks that time.
So, Ada.bip. - you agree??
Cheers!

P.S. Ah, that was not the intended image handling  - oh well. |
