We'd like to see the video but the Ask Extension system says,
" 20210615_120903.mp4: File type is not allowed."

I will try to figure it out.  I am not so good with this.   I didn't see the bug in the info you sent me.  I will get it to you one way or another as I really want to know.

OK.  We'd like to know too.  Also, if a photo does get through, tell us anything else you know about the beetle, when and where it was found, its behavior, etc.

I will do that

Looks like it might be a 15 spotted lady beetle pupa.  Compare here:
