Chilocorus bipustulatus: again in NJ - Chilocorus bipustulatus
Highland Park, Middlesex County, New Jersey, USA

Size: 4.0 mm
Adding to my 2009 record from Weehawken & a 2015 sighting from the Meadowlands (Bergen County). Both of those are near ports and transshipment centers in North Jersey, so might be hitchhiking in with produce from Calif, but this is just in my suburban yard in central NJ, not particularly near any shipping. Maybe released by a local gardener?
