Thanks Peter! I have one more I need to post, and if you could identify that would be wonderful!

The ashy gray lady beetle is fascinating. It can comes in this colour and also the black and orange lady beetle you posted. According to Bug Guide it's found all over the US. http://bugguide.net/node/view/8874

Thank you everyone! I thought this bug was so unique. I have never seen a lady bug this exotic in NY where I grew up. Does anyone know which varieties exist where?

Thanks Peter! I am working on fixing this now. When I edit this spotting, how come it comes up as no mission selected. If you get a chance, can you see if all my spottings are listed under the Lady Bug mission? Thanks!!

Hi Gary, welcome to Project Noah. Your ladybug spottings are fantastic. Just a quick tip, don't forget to set the species category. Right now it's classified as a plant :)
