Very Yellow - _TNY_3748S3 (In Explore 20/8 2021)
The 22-spot ladybird (Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata) is one of the smallest ladybirds in Sweden, much smaller than the typical seven spotted ones.
Here's one still in the larval stage I found on a leaf. Due to the diminutive size I went with high magnification, so this is taken at 3.9:1 and because it stayed still for me I took three shots and focus stacked them into a single image for a little added depth if field.
Here's a video I took using my phone which helps show the scale of it: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51390917375/
