Learning how to effectively search on the Internet isn't very hard.  Start at:

	http://hotbot.com

Type in only words that you expect to find on every suitable page (every
word must be on the results page).  For this query, I searched on:

	larvae Ladybird Beetles

Among the first 10 matches, I found:

http://www.biconet.com/biocontrol/ladybug.html
http://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/ipmnet/ny/fruits/FruitFS/beneficials.html

Then I went to:

	http://image.altavista.com/cgi-bin/avncgi

(found from the http://altavista.com URL under "photo finder") and searched
on:

	larvae Ladybird Beetles

And of the photos shown on the first results page, one was from:

http://www.caf.wvu.edu/kearneysville/pest_descriptions/visualkey/natenviskey
.html

(look at the bottom of the page)

Still, there are times when having a book on the shelf is best.  I have
Sunset's "Garden Pests and Diseases" book [1].  On page 37, in the
"Beneficial Creatures" section are photos of adult and larvae Ladybird
Beetles.  I consider this book a "must have" book for any serious gardener.
