Field Notes

Description:

I found the same kind on this plant a few days later as well

Habitat:

Found on silverthorn in a suburban yard next to mixed forest. In the case that this may be a cactus lady beetle, we also have prickly pear cactus nearby, though I mostly found these on the silverthorn
