> Yesterday I did a tour of Miner's Marsh. Not much to see but Ladybugs were in good supply flying everywhere. Scores of them. True to their habit, I had many land on me. I caught a few & noted they were unspotted. Also the W (or M) that distinguishes the South Asian Ladybug was not present but rather a series of dots. Since this beetle comes in many disguises ranging from no spots to many, I presume it was this species. However if someone could confirm this, it would be appreciated.
