  1. I think this is a Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle - Harmonia axyridis. The convergent lady beetle has a different pattern.

    This invasive species can take over local ones.

    1. Good eye I could see that the patterns and colors of the areas around the head where definitely different. Posted 11 years ago
  2. Howdy,
    This is not Harmonia axyridis, but Olla v-nigrum
    Please remove/change tags so it may be displayed in the correct galleries :o)
