Researched and added information. In North america these ladybugs are commonly called the Japanese Ladybug. So maybe it's not so crazy that the same time we found ours in Murfreesboro, TN another Project Noah Citizen Scientist posted similar pictures in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan. We posted pictures and information to the Lost Ladybug Project Mission too.
