Aphid Terminator - _TNY_9363
I see questions from time to time accompanying photos of these guys with people wondering what they are as they have never seen one before.
They most likely have, though then in their adult form as this is actually the larvae of a seven-spot ladybird/ladybug.
Just like the adults, they are predators, specializing in hunting (well, just finding I suppose) aphids.
This one was crawling on the yellow plastic cooler containing our picnic food on Midsummer at Tyresta National Park just south of Stockholm, Sweden.
