Thanks Jan. I looked a bit at the Stippen site. It looks like it is the common Coccinella septempunctata ... |

The marks on the leaf are probably caused by a sucking insect, my guess is a true bug.

All correct: both are puopae and not larva, both are from Coccinella septempunctata, and the marks on the leaf are not caused by the ladybirds. |
