The larvae of the different lady beetles is indeed different and the one in
question appears to be the Asian lady beetle. The Asian adult releases a
bitter tasting and foul smelling liquid, which is actually the beetle's
blood, from its legs as a defensive action. So you'd definitely want to make
sure you don't have these lady beetles in your fruit at harvest.
All the lady beetles will give of the foul odor/taste. I would also
say the larvae in question was the AMCLB.
