Can anyone tell me what this Ladybug is doing? It's clinging to some fuzzy mass stuck to a dry leaf on a wild Gooseberry stem. *Not* the 'nest' of the beetle itself, i had to look it up, but they lay a batch of eggs right on a leaf surface etc, no fuzzy covering. So, raiding the eggs or larvae of some other critter?
