Nice, but I think that they are probably first instar nymphs of the Common Green Shieldbug (Palomena prasina) - see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Palomena_prasina_first_instar_nymphs.jpg for example! Good photos btw, what set up did you use for those high mag shots?
Oops so they are - daft as I should know what the ladybird larvae look like as I’ve seen plenty!
Just phone camera down the scope, with a bike light for illumination. Will try get a little light box as will make it a bit easier.
Works really well with good detail on the eggs. I need to get a microscope!
