Ladybird Beetle

Oenopia sexareata

Description:

This red ladybug was spotted today by the road side at an altitude of less than 1 000m. I was attracted by the strong black coloured bands one running along the midline and other two on its sides and one across them binding like a life jacket!

Notes:

The white powdery spread on it and the leaves are actually dusts thown on them by the vehicles plying on this road.
