Multi. Asian lady? - Harmonia axyridis
Alameda County, California, USA
June 17, 2009
Size: 3 mm
Active on buddleia in afternoon. Has 10 spots on each side and 1 on the midline, if that one counts. "Multicolored Asian lady beetle" on the guide page looks like the closest match, but I'm not sure. My specimen has a yellowish patch at the central rear part of the black and white area.
