Coccinella monticola

The Latin name means "mountain-dwelling" - Alpine County at 8820 feet is a very appropriate place for it!

Please click on "edit"

and fix the date--unless, of course, these images were actually shot in December 1969. :)

Thanks, and welcome to BugGuide!

Location date.

Thank you for your help with that. I thought I had edited after my initial post. I was shocked to see 1969. This is such a cool website.
