pupa’s are hybernation stage. think you mean larva and you are correct. As is always the case with insects the larva are the most voracious eaters…the adults are basically breeders/egglayers/ disseminaters of the species…FWIW

Don’t ever crush a stinkbug. Aside from stinking, the smell actually attracts more…

Ladybugs eat mites and aphids. Not sure if they eat thrips or not, either way, they eat a lot of the nasties that jack up your plants and lots of them in a short period of time. Leave them be, peeps.

Looks like a baby ladybug, kinda blurry, did you look at the life cycle pic earlier in this thread? Instar 3, 4 possibly?
