User's notes

Small, smaller, smallest. The small Ladybeetle larva was feeding on what appeared to be a smaller Sawfly larva, which was less than 5mm including its 'tail.' Visible in the first three images is the smallest of the three insects in this sighting, what appeared to be a mite attached to the Ladybeetle larva just behind its right eye, at somewhat less that 5mm.
