Coccinella magnifica
Small, red-colored beetle with black spots.
In a plant container on a roof garden.
I had seem some aphids in the planter next to this one. I'm hoping this little ladybug will provide some natural defense!
I agree with misako, why do you think is magnifica, what I know about it, that one should look like a regular ladybird with bigger points, Lat. magnus means big
Thanks Sachin! I just saw this a few minutes ago while drinking my morning coffee! I love stumbling across ladybugs.
