Just found this in the kitchen. Is it a Spotted Ladybug - Psyllobora vigintimaculata? Is it rare or unusual? {wrong guess - see below}

Don't know but they might be able to tell you...Lost Ladybug Project

First - wow - what a neat beetle! Second, that pattern doesn't look *just right* for the insect you have quoted . . . and seeing as how there are 160 pages of ladybird images on BugGuide . . . suunto? Hello, suunto? Swampy?

I just submitted it to "Lost Ladybug Project", thanks, hava!

This one I've got in my personal file on non-natives. Try Propylea quatuordecimpunctata and see what you guys think. There's light variants of quite a few lady beetles.

That's one snazzy dresser! Very cute buggie.

Sage · 08-31-2010, 08:39 PM

Wow! Great job, Lib! That does look like mine! We've spent the last hour finding, catching, refrigerating and photographing this little tiny bug! Here are some shots Roger got~

Sage · 08-31-2010, 08:48 PM

And now that I know it's an invasive, do I have to feed it to the spiders?

Equilibrium · 08-31-2010, 09:27 PM

I don't know much about it other than it's non-native. If it's invasive.... it's flying in under my radar. I'd toss a non-native in a spider web.

Mommy must feed her spiderlings.

You refrigerate your bugs? ummmm - why?
