Harmonia axyridis var. spectabilis
Harmonia axyridis is a large coccinellid beetle. Its color ranges from yellow-orange to black.
It is native to eastern Asia, but has been introduced to North America and Europe to control aphids and scale insects. It is now common, well known, and spreading in those regions, and has also established in South Africa and widely across South America.
