Harmonia axyridis
I like to add that if you add the scientific name to your spotting it will go into the database and be flagged as unidentified.
Here's my spotting about his insect, April, I discovered it when I got caught in a swarming one day ... very interesting! http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/109...
Thank you very much ForestDragon & suzmonk. It's really nice of you both to be so helpful. I'll try to research more of the lady bug species. Since I've joined this site I get more & more interested in finding out as much as I can about nature.
ForestDragon is right on with her Suggested ID ... the black "M" shape behind the head is the best give-away. BTW, there's a ton of variation in appearance in the Multi-colored Asian Lady Beetle. Worth looking up. Unfortunately, they are invasive and displacing native species.
