Lady Beetle found on garden Dead Nettle - Anatis labiculata
Hennepin County, Minnesota, USA
April 26, 2016
Size: 6-7mm
Spotted this lady beetle, nearly but not quite black or wine colored on a bed of garden nettle in Hennepin County, MN. If you look closely, you can see the spots underlying the general dark color.
