Harmonia axyridis ID

If anyone was wondering whether or not the lady beetles they find in their homes are the exotic species, H axyridis (multi-colored Asian lady beetle), here are some great pictures sent to our lab from one of our blog-followers, Michele:

These where found on her garage floor, and they are pretty good examples of H. axyridis because they show the variation in spots that can occur within this species.

Thanks Michele and Andy!
