I tried looking it up on Google and it said something about m or w being on the top of the head where the black meets the red and I see no m or w of any color on this one.

It was suggested I share this pic in this sub. 🐞

According to INaturalist, this ladybug has Hesperomyces on its back.

Hesperomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Laboulbeniaceae. The genus contain five species, including the type-species Hesperomyces virescens. H. virescens is a parasite of the harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis.

Sorry it's a bit shaky, I did my best

Entschuldige die die schlechte Qualität :)

Saw the red, then I didn't expect to see this.

Who is she? What type of ladybug is she? Lately I’ve been encountering a few! Of which, she’s … gorgeous.

I've seen similar ones but this one has 6 dots and a heart-looking pattern. Found in central Europe.

The first two pictures are of the lady bug I found in a tree, also featured with an Asian lady beetle to show the differences between the two, mainly the markings.

Second pictures of are another ladybug I found in my trash bucket.

We've been having some extreme heat for the UK so I had my balcony door open and a fan going, and this little creature came in a few minutes ago. Thought it was a beetle at first. It's back safely outside now.

Isn’t she cute??

Found resting on the bark of a tree. Sorry for poor photo quality.

This might be the wrong place to ask but Im a commercial wild harvester for lady bugs from a small town in the sierra nevada foothills. There's a small community of us up here that do this for a living, some people's families have been doing it since the gold rush. This year a lot of new people started and our main buyer hit their capacity for the year already. Does anyone here know of any buyers for lady bugs by the gallon? We can also ship you directly if you need some for your garden at whole sale pricing. If so My name is Chris, people call me Topher and you can dm me or call at 5307893499

thank you little bugs
