How certain of this are you?

I have herd that the larva eat *more* than the adults, but that the
adults still eat quite a few.  Further, I have seen pictures of
ladybugs eating aphids.  Perhaps the photo had more to do with an
argument between the two entities rather than somebody's nutritional
needs?  :)
