There were two of these with very similar coloration next to one with a deeper red color. The orange guys were much more skittish than the red, and I thought they were different species. But looking at ladybug species I guess they were all probably Asian lady beetles?? Fascinating.
Inaugural outing of my backyard mothing station. Need to work out some lighting issues but the blacklight works!
