Oct. 18, 2007 - In east Wolfville, in the Thextons=B9 yard, I saw two LADYBIR=
D
BEETLES that were very different from each other but just colour-morphs of
the same species, the MULTI-SPOTTED ASIAN LADYBEETLE, alias VARIABLE
LADYBEETLE, our most abundant alien, introduced species. One had the full
complement of about 19 dark spots, mostly in rows of 4-5, while the other
had only a couple of noticeable spots (they can have none at all). It=B9s th=
e
shape and the thoracic colour-pattern of white and black that identifies th=
e
species.
Thus I wonder if Stan's at Coldbrook are the same species -- probably so,
since at this time of year aggregations are common and they often invade
houses for overwintering.
