Besides the asymmetry, there
Besides the asymmetry, there seems to be an indentation on at least one of the spots. I see a similar thing here.



Similar issues going on? Are these features the result of damage somehow?

definitely not frassing this!
I keep H. axyridis photos if they are clear, show distinctive features well, or represent unusual color patterns. This is certainly the most unusual I've seen!
