Spotless!

This little ladybug doesn't have any spots! She's a Western Blood-Red Lady Beetle. Thank you Robin@girlie for helping me identify her! :0)

I had two pics I liked today, so I'm posting this one in my extra album. :0)

This is terrific! And how nice of ladybug to stop at just the right spot on the branch! :-D

I'm thinking it's more likely to be Cycloneda polita - Western Blood-Red Lady Beetle, which is possibly a native in your area. Very nicely captured on that white flower.

@girlie Thank you Robin! I looked the Western Blood-Red up online. It looks just like it. It wasn't in my field guide, but it is a North American insect. I'll edit my description! :0)

I've never seen such a lady bird Carolyn. What a gorgeous blood red she is as well. Love the contrast against that lacy white flower too.
