Lady Beetle Keys - University of Minnesota

Keys to adults, pupae, and larvae of seven common lady beetle species. There are very few resources, in print or online, with larval keys, and I've never seen a pupal key before. Though limited in scope, it can be used to ID the most commonly-encountered species at all life stages.

Species list:
Adalia bipunctata, two-spotted lady beetle
Coleomegilla maculata, (pink) spotted lady beetle
Coccinella septempunctata, seven-spotted lady beetle
Cycloneda munda, polished lady beetle
Harmonia axyridis, multicolored Asian lady beetle
Hippodamia convergens, convergent lady beetle

Good concise profile of the group, with the emphasis on the Floridan fauna. (NB: Due to the recent overhaul of the classification, the information therein provided only applies to a portion of the subfamily Erotylinae, and do not cover the Xenoscelinae and Languriini.)
