This one has quite a long name. Don’t try saying it backwards … you might bump into something.

I’ve only seen red species of the lady bugs. Nice to see a yellow one, Pete.

I don’t see many of the yellow ones here, Steve, but they always make a pleasant change to see them 🙂

Not only is the ladybird color-coordinated with its stem, that pattern’s unlike any I’ve seen. It doesn’t look so much “dotted” as “rectangled.”It’s a really interesting pattern.

This ladybird does have quite odd-shaped spots which kinda merge together compared to the istinct ‘spots’ of other species.
