Only managed to find this lady bug this morning before the mosquitos decided I was an all you can eat buffet 😅

She eventually flew away 🥲🫶🏼

Good luck?

I just love the yellow color! But what’s with the tiny red dot?

Location :Co cavan Ireland

I tried looking it up on Google and it said something about m or w being on the top of the head where the black meets the red and I see no m or w of any color on this one.

It was suggested I share this pic in this sub. 🐞

According to INaturalist, this ladybug has Hesperomyces on its back.

Hesperomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Laboulbeniaceae. The genus contain five species, including the type-species Hesperomyces virescens. H. virescens is a parasite of the harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis.

Sorry it's a bit shaky, I did my best

Who is she? What type of ladybug is she? Lately I’ve been encountering a few! Of which, she’s … gorgeous.

Had a little friend join me on my visit to my dads grave

I've seen similar ones but this one has 6 dots and a heart-looking pattern. Found in central Europe.

The first two pictures are of the lady bug I found in a tree, also featured with an Asian lady beetle to show the differences between the two, mainly the markings.

Second pictures of are another ladybug I found in my trash bucket.
