Chilocorus kuwanae
Black lady beetles with slightly rectangular red spots. Female on left, male on right.
Under the leaves of a river birch tree in an urban park, feeding on scale insects.
This species was introduced to North America for biological control. As with most lady beetles, females are larger than males.
