Anatis labiculata Anatis labiculata (Giant Ladybug) on a Milkweed (Asclepia syriaca) leaf. This is an arboreal species of ladybug so I suspect it fell from the trees in the windbreak nearby.

      Same here. I was baffled for a while as to its id. They live in trees rather than close to the ground like most other ladybugs. Posted 6 years ago
