Field Notes

Description:

Coccinellidae; Coccinellinae; Coccinellini; Coelophora inaequalis Fabricius, 1775. Wikipedia explains that the black marks on the elytra "vary from one individual to another". However, identification is relatively easy as the pattern on the Pronotum and head does not vary (as far as I know).

Habitat:

This Variable Ladybird was spotted in our backyard on String Beans (Vigna unguiculata) locally known as Sitaw. Plant information from - http://www.stuartxchange.org/Sitaw.html
