  Thanks, Ernst. This was my first time seeing this species and I wasn't sure what it was until I did some searching. Posted 5 years ago

The Twenty-spot Ladybird

Small (2-3mm), yellowish species from the family Coccinellidae. Unlike most lady beetles, which are carnivores, Psyllobora species are mildew-feeders, and have mandibles armed with rake-like rows of small teeth used in gathering up spores and conidia.
