Orange ladybird - Halyzia sedecimguttata When I made this picture on Vitosha Mountain in October, I did not even think that this was anything other than Harlequin Ladybug. I just made some pictures of boredom while I waited for my wife to bring something to eat from the small restaurant nearby. I did not bother to make any better shots at all! Now I realize that this is a new species for me! Bulgaria,Fall,Geotagged,Halyzia sedecimguttata,Orange Ladybird Click/tap to enlarge PromotedCountry intro
