Possible Chilocorus cacti ? - Chilocorus cacti Skull Valley, AZ, Yavapai, Yavapai County, Arizona, USA February 7, 2007 Size: 4-5mm
Lone Individul found on the peach tree limb where I was pruning. While trying to get it to remain on it's back for a ventral image, I observes many times the dorsal view of the abdomin as being completely orange...seen when it used its flight function to get itself back upright. Very active critter, finally succeeded getting ventral after the cooling treatment. Released onto a mesquite tree in my yard.
