Field Notes

Description:

There are ladybugs with no spots! The only way to tell us apart is to look at the white markings on our pronota (remember, the shield like covering between our head and wings). If the white markings do not form fully enclosed circles then it is C. polita; if they do form fully enclosed circles then it is C. sanguinea.

Habitat:

Plants. Semi tropical.
