Took this video and edited together the other day because I liked this little bug. When I poked it gently with my finger it also emitted a yellow fluid from its back. Can you help me identify it?
I hope someone can give you an answer. The video should be helpful.

Cool video, lacampbell. I first thought, oh, some caterpiller - but where it's lurking makes me wonder. I'm no expert but maybe Rosborne will know. I'll pm him to look at this thread.

You're welcome. Ladybug Larvae are predatory bugs, which in many ways are more interesting that mere grazers. You might also like Jumping Spiders which I always found very fun to watch.

Over here we call them Ladybirds. Perhaps you can answer one of those funny little questions that buzz round the back of one's head from time to time. As Ladybird is a British term and Ladybug an American one, why didn't Lyndon Johnson's wife call herself Ladybug Johnson?

Hell, I don't even know why she called herself Ladybird.
