Utah Hyperaspis Lady Beetle - Hyperaspis
Glendale, Salt Lake County, Utah, USA
April 26, 2018
I happened upon this tiny lady beetle while checking out some Lactuca serriola with a whole lot of aphids hanging out along the undersides of the leaves. I have never seen aphids on these weeds before. What a happy surprise to see a new beetle! I got the only photos I could, while the beetle made a hasty retreat.

Something like H. bensonica/disrupta, but a form of H. undulata is also possible.
