Paul might still have ideas about that though. But yes, I think it's fair to assume that if this is indeed the only beetles of tribe Scymnini that you find in the garden (or even on that plant) that the larvea you found earlier may very well be the same "species" (if not the very same animal  ) |
Sorry Arp - I didn't realise they were the same family until I started looking at references for Rhizobius species
.
It would be nice to think it was the same animal as the larva picture wouldn't it!
