Field Notes

Habitat:

It is native to eastern Asia, but has been artificially introduced to North America and Europe to control aphids and scale insects. It is now common, well known, and spreading in those regions, and has also established in Africa and widely across South America. In parks, gardens, agricultural areas.

Notes:

Hadn't seen any lady beetles in a while.
