It is sometimes called the Halloween lady beetle as it often seeks shelter from colder weather in the autumn by sneaking into homes. Asian Ladybugs come in a variety of colours and spot patterns ranging from yellow-orange to bright red-orange; with or without spots. The "W" arrangement on the face, seen clearly in this image, helps identify it from other ladybird species. On the right is a picture of the larvae. | « January 2007 | March 2007 » | Bug of the Month Archives | Dereila Nature Inn Home > Woodlands Pathway > The Bug World > Bug of the Month top Home | All Things Natural Restaurant | Bird's Nest Lounge | Cyber Room | Lagoon Trail | Naturalist's Nook | Wildflower Garden | Woodlands Pathway Site Map | Inbox | FAQs | News and Updates | Newsletter Information | Games Room | Privacy Policy All content © Dereila and Sage Innovations
