Propylea quatuordecimpunctata
about 3mm, some type of ladybeetle, the back of it looks like a smiling face
urban garden
I spotted this at Oak Hall. I brought it home to photograph and try to get an ID. The last 3 photos were on my arm. I put in the photo with it beside my watch for scale.
Yes, very much. Some say it looks like an anchor as well, which I can see but my first thought was smiling face.
Thanks Casey for the ID and Ashish for confirmation. Thanks Carolina and Yulia for the interesting comparisons.
Yes its Propylea quattuordecimpunctata
