Eye-spotted Lady Beetle

Anatis mali

Large Ladybug with an extremely good grip and large black spots. (I counted 14) More rust red than any other Ladybugs I've seen.

Backyard woods near creek.

Large, about a quarter of an inch. Really strong grip on my fingers. (No Ladybugs were harmed in this spotting.)

Most likely an Asian beetle

It could go under the Lost Ladybug Project mission.
