Lady Beetles are interesting and I just got a confirmation on another one yesterday! What better to do in the winter freeze than write about the bugs I'll see when its warmer? #bugsky #ladybeetles
The Lady Beetles are converging! The Ladybugs swarming over a dead tree trunk are Convergent Lady Beetles (Hippodamia convergens), know for the parties they throw every year. Mt. Diablo State Park in northern California.

I'll squeeze in a (new to me) Subvittate Lady Beetle (Myzia subvittata) before #InsectThursday ends. I spotted this little beauty while wandering on the #PacificCrestTrail last week.💚

#Hippodamiaconvergens, commonly known as the #convergentladybeetle, is one of the most common #ladybeetles in North America and is found throughout the continent. They always make me #smile! #ladybug caught this one cleaning its foot.

The center right of this photo features a small, super shiny, spotless red ladybug called a Western Polished Lady Beetle crawling on a fresh green rose leaf with red-tipped, serrated edges. It’s a macro shot, so you can see the leaf veins and red points closely. More shady, blurred rose leaves make up the background.
iNaturalist says this is a Western Polished Lady Beetle - native to this area. So cute! #Invertebrates #Insects #Ladybug #LadyBeetles #PNW #iNaturalist #Nature #Macro #Photography #Spring #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice
Phylogenetic tree and feeding-related genes of major lineages of ladybirds (Coccinellidae) and outgroup beetles. The time-calibrated maximum likelihood phylogeny was inferred from 770 near single-copy protein-coding genes using IQ-TREE and MCMCTREE. Candidate gene family abbreviations are listed in the Abbreviations section. PCWDE: plant cell wall degrading enzyme, GH9: glycosyl hydrolase family 9, CE13: carbohydrate esterase family 13.

Native Plant Month
On Late Boneset. Always a pleasure to see one of our native ladybeetles in my garden when the introduced species seem to be much more abundant. I love the flair pattern these guys have. From my files.
Polished Lady Beetle.

Dealing with an aphid problem on my roses so I went to a little weedy patch I know and grabbed a dead leaf covered with lady beetle pupae. Hooray for biocontrol! #ladybeetles

This 22-spot ladybird observed yesterday wondering on a blueberry plant next to our patio is on the hunt for it’s favorite meal - mildew, not aphids! 🐞
