Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle? - Harmonia axyridis
Frederick, Frederick County, Maryland, USA
April 21, 2017

It laid eggs on a napkin
I should have cleaned up this specimen before its glamour shots...

Most interesting!
I thought that the moisture on the vegetation and sweep net had caused flower anthers to become attached to this beetle. Thank you Blaine!
