For those that don't know what lady bug larva look like, here's a Harmonia axyridis larva (also know as the Asian Lady Beetle). As you can see they eat aphids, so if you don't like aphids, let these guys eat them.

For those who don't like aphids, try to encourage ladybugs. These charismatic beetles are voracious aphid preditors.

I think that this is a Larinus turbinatus, which is one of the 'true weevils'. Members of the genus can useful to humans b/c they eat the flower buds of noxious weeds.

The segments are VCP to #UniversityHeightsBridge, UHB to #MacombsDamBridge, MDB to Randalls Island.

I'm happy there are bikes aplenty at a currently unvisited part of #RandallsIsland and now I know why there are often no bikes in my neighborhood #rebalance #citibikenyc
