They are between 1 and 2cm long and are navy blue and orange. Very strange looking creatures.

Posted by Jules, Wed Aug 18, 2010 5:59 pm You beat me to it - Rob said "Bet it's a larvae, what else was on the plant?" Me "Ladybirds and what I think is a hatching out pupae of a ladybird". So we looked at http://www.ladybird-survey.org/downloads/Ladybird%20larvae_v.1.4.pdf and there it was, harmonia axyridis (harlequin ladybird). Many thanks to Jan.
