Ladybug with Fungus - Harmonia axyridis

Ladybug with Fungus - Harmonia axyridis
North Kingstown, Washington County, Rhode Island, USA
August 8, 2010
Size: ~5mm
I thought the ladybug was covered in parasite eggs, but after searching here
it looks like this is Harmonia axyridis with Laboulbeniales fungus.

The ladybug was eating Aphis nerii on Asclepias purpurascens.
