RIP, Fluffy

Sadly, my little scymnine lady beetle larva has died. *sniff* I just can’t seem to keep this subfamily alive! I saw more larvae in the same milkweed patch, so I’ll try again – but leave some in the wild, lest I extirpate them from that location! Sigh…I don’t know what it is about scymnines, they just don’t survive in my care. All the other lady beetle larvae do, but not Subfamily Scymninae…
