Oenopia sexareata
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!
The white powdery spread on it and the leaves are actually dusts thown on them by the vehicles plying on this road.
Thanks Dilan, LaurenZarate, Candice Lela, Nuwan, Jeson Alexander and sarah in the woods for making it favourite.
Thanks CindyBinghamKeiser for the comment and the good news that this is one of the firsts!
Beautiful. This appears to be the first of this species for Project Noah.
