Ladybug pupa on ranaculus leaf-10X magnification
I didn't know what these red things were until now. Boy, do I feel bad for tormenting them; this one inparticular! They were all over my pine needles, so I mistakenly assumed they were pests!

I also pried the little one off the leaf so I could see underneath. It seemed as though he/she was throwing silken threads to try to reattach...I don't know if that is possible!
I also have a 60X magnification picture of the white and black "spines" at the attachment site
