Moved
Moved from Ornate Lady Beetle.

Clearly this was a mistake/typo, when under Nephaspis. I found no evidence that ornatus was ever under that genus.

Thanks for the move Tim!
I am sorry i did not pick it up either, as I had the right reference material to correct it but did not do enough background...Cheers!

Nephus ornatus ornatus (LeConte)
Note: the correct name for this species is Nephus ornatus ornatus (LeConte). It is not placed in the genus Nephaspis.

My pleasure!
According to local experts, this species is relatively easy to net in sweeps, so i will be trying hard for this one in the next 6-8 weeks and trying to find adults alive for more natural poses soon.
