Field Notes

Description:

Spotted this California Ladybug on a dandelion plant in Aquatic Park in Berkeley, CA. I thought is was a spotless 7-spotted ladybug, but it turns out that is a separate species: Coccinella Californica. I never knew there were so many species of ladybugs.

Habitat:

Aquatic Park, Berkeley, CA.
