Hi All
I managed to get almost all the life history of this lovely little insect on record over the past few weeks...
Egg (hugely magnified; it's about 1.5mm long)
First instar larva about to moult (about 4mm long):
Second instar:
Fourth instar:
Pupa:
And the resulting male adult (he would not open his beautiful chrome-yellow wings, sadly):
