While I love games like these (very cool idea) I have NO IDEA what these are! I'll check back later to learn the correct answers, but thanks for doing this just the same!
I do think though, that 3 and 4 are "nice" lady bugs. Two is a "bad" one (the Japanese one?) and #1 is another beetle all together.
Speaking of insects, copy and paste this URL in your browser:
1.Pink lady beetle (Coleomegilla maculata): This is a fairly common beetle, native to the United States. 2. Multicolored Asian lady beetle (Harmonia axyridis): A very common invasive species that you may notice invading your home! 3. Seven Spotted (Coccinella septempunctata): Another exotic lady beetle. This species is not as common as the Multicolored Asian lady beetle, but it is still fairly common especially in alfalfa fields. 4. Orange Spotted (Brachiacantha ursina): This is a native, but rare lady beetle.
