Hi Gerardo,I found an interesting article to share with you about common Lady Beetles. It mentions a life cycle phase of a Lady Beetle while it is being Pink. Quoted "when the ladybug first emerges it doesn’t look like the red and black spotted ladybug we know so well. While it waits for its exoskeleton and elytra to harden, the ladybug will be pale and pink. For about 24 hours, the ladybug will allow itself to dry and become harder". from article blog. http://blog.ecosmart.com/index.php/2009/11/18/becoming-a-lady-ladybug-life-cycle-and-mating/
Wow,I have never seen a Pink Beetle until now, Amazing! Thank you for sharing this unique and wonderful spotting.
Nice pink one Gerardo with a bonus jumping spider.
