They are the same animal: a seven-spotted ladybug (coccinella septempunctata) and its larva. The ladybug is an aphid-eater used for pest control, but the larvae are even more effective for this.

Son el mismo animal: una mariquita de siete puntos (coccinella septempunctata) y su larva. La mariquita es una devoradora de pulgones que se usa para control de plagas, pero las larvas son aún más eficaces para esto.
Es handelt sich um ein und dasselbe Tier: einen Siebenpunkt-Marienkäfer (Coccinella septempunctata) und seine Larve. Der Marienkäfer ist ein Blattlausfresser, der zur Schädlingsbekämpfung eingesetzt wird, aber die Larven sind dafür noch effektiver.
The name "ladybug" was coined by European farmers who prayed to the Virgin Mary when pests began eating their crops. After ladybugs came and wiped out the invading insects, the farmers named them "beetle of Our Lady." This eventually was shortened to "lady beetle" and "ladybug." NASA even sent a few ladybugs into space with aphids to see how aphids would escape in zero gravity.

'I keep molting.
To become a shiny cool compact car that can fly.
But right now I'm still a baby.
So I'm taking a nap wrapped in a wafer paper-like blanket.' 🐞

The ladybug has a sweet tooth for nectar and tea. It likes to visit cafés, where it can find both. It enjoys the warmth and the smell of the place. It is curious and adventurous, always looking for new flavors and experiences.
