with fungus, too
The yellow stuff is a fungus, Laboulbeniales, that H. axyridis seems especially prone to. I've seen it occasionally on other lady beetle species, but not as frequently nor to the extent as on H. axyridis. It requires a live host so it doesn't directly kill the beetle, but a major infestation might slow the beetle down and make it difficult to fly.
