This lady bug was not part of the Butterfly World exhibits, it was wild. It flew down on a branch near me and then flew off.

You're welcome! They can be difficult but there is a good chance that people are around who might be able to help! It's a very interestingly patterned Lady Beetle.

Thank you ForestDragon! There are so many species and variations of species of insects that it is sometimes hard to find the species of an insect.
