Illeis galbula
The Fungus-eating Ladybird is bright yellow with black markings. 5mm in size.
Usually - plants infected with fungus...this little one was on the ground under plants
Fungus-eating Ladybirds lay eggs on food plants. The eggs hatch into larvae, then pupate into oval pupae before hatching out as adults.
