@LisaH Hi Lisa, You have two different lady beetles here: Fungus eating and leaf leating. Could you please separate them.
Thanks
Alison

Am just doing that - I took the photo of them both just for size context. I also couldn't reorder the photos on the app, so am on the laptop now to reorder. Do you mind if I still keep the photo of both lady beetles, but as a last photo?

@LisaH Hi Lisa, Yes keep the photo of the two but add the comment that it is for size comparison. :-) - Oh, which you have done.
