  1. That is so cool, I've never seen anything like it. Kind of weird when you realize this "down" grows on such a hard exoskeleton. Posted 10 years ago

The same family as other ladybirds however, the Red herbivorous ladybird is covered with a whitish down and as the name suggests, they are herbivorous. Found in sub-tropical weedish areas.
