"Shed" Some Light On Me.

I found this little guy before he started to shed and thought he might be a ladybug because of the dots on his skeleton even though he was yellow. After he got further out I was no longer sure. He looks like a lady bug in shape but not in coloring.

Cool capture! I think it's a Harlequin Ladybug judging by this chart - 4th or 5th row down, first on the left in the row.

@dulciknit Thanks,Alison. I am used to red ladybugs so this was very confusing to me.

I don't know what that bug is, but it's a super-cool picture. You caught it at the perfect moment!!

@daizynorth Actually there was a series of shots but I felt this one depicted the shed the best.

@grammyn Oh nice, I would have loved to have seen this. This is an adult ladybird emerging from the pupa. I think it can be a few days before they take on their final colour and pattern.

@natsnell Thanks Nat. It was way cool to watch!
