Ladybug Nymph

I was a little surprised when I first saw this scary animal that I found on the edge of the bush leaf. It only has black and yellow color on its long body, and it also has a lot of thorn features on its body.

It resembles an alligator in some way to me, but the difference is that it is only living on the land, not in the water, also it stays above the ground on the leaves. The size is a lot smaller than the alligator, but it is surely scary. I hope it won't scare you in your dream. 🤣🤣

But it is apparently the nymph of a ladybug. I would never expect that cute shiny colorful insect to have this kind of scary-looking childhood. But one thing is for sure, they can be a farmer's friends either in adult life or in their childhood in the nymph phase as they are also a predator of some aphids and pests in the plants.
