Field Notes

Description:

Looks like usual ladybug but the colour's green with patternless small white sprinkles on its wing-shells. Head to tail-end length: 9.00mm.

Notes:

Spotted this warm sunny afternoon a green ladybug, never seen before. It was moving around tirelessly till it found this wooden chip where it rested peacefully.

Hi Doc.. I'm wondering why you are calling this a ladybug (Coccinellidae). Could it not be a 'leaf beetle' (Chrysomelidae) or Cassidinae?

The shell pattern reminds me a lot of a green apple.
