a lady beetle with no spots
rose garden
I spotted this in the rose garden along the parkway. Looks a lot like the spotless nine spotted ladybeetle but that is only found in California.

Thanks both Rubens for adding those links. Now we just have to find an ID for all of them.
Thanks Rubens Araujo and rubens.luciano! I definitely feel more educated on them now. I love learning new things :)
