Appearance
The normal colour pattern has 20 pale spots on a darker background, arranged in a fixed manner. Newly emerged beetles (from june-july but mostly late summer to fall) are reddish-brown with white spots and gain more colour very, very slowly with most beetles reaching a pure black with white or yellow spots only after overwintering.References:
