No Spots

I have never seen a lady bug with no spots. We finally got some much needed rain. The air quality was much better today.

[Corinne C]

So fresh and cute!

[John Falconer]

Maybe the spots got washed off!! Great closeup.

[Dave]

Nice capture! Love the water drops on the beetle. I looked it up and spotless ladybugs are not as rare as one would think.

[Mags]

Lovely capture, but I think that's the Asian lady beetle. It's the "M" that gives it away.

[Pam]

@marlboromaam Ugh! I was wondering if it was one of them. Now I know what to look for. Thanks, Mags.

[Peter Dulis]

love it

[Christine Sztukowski]

Nice

[Dione Giorgio]

Fav. Superb close up. Have never seen one without spots either.

[Chris Cook]

What a terrific shot of this unusual ladybug. Cycloneda Munda according to Google. I have never seen one.

[Diana]

What a little beauty you found and captured.

[Kate]

Love your composition

[FBailey]

Never seen a spotless model either!

[Cathy Donohoue]

Gorgeous.

[moni kozi]

Outstanding shot!

[bkb in the city]

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I haven't either. Sweet capture.

[Susan Wakely]

So unusual.

[Monica]

Really unusual

Belle prise un superbe gros plan

[Renee Salamon]

This is a fabulous pâture - looks like her spots are there but haven’t fully developed

[Beryl Lloyd]

What a surprise - a new one for me too!

[Karen]

What a wonderful photograph. I love the green with the flash of red.
First time I’ve seen one of these, and from perusing the comments above, it’s not the most welcome of visitors. It’s very cute, though.

[Josie Gilbert]

Lovely close up.

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Super capture fv!

[Mags]

@pamalama https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonia_axyridis Bottom left hand corner is one like yours. =)

[KoalaGardens🐨]

oh that is gorgeous

[KV]

Lovely.

[Babs]

How unusual.

[Rob Z]

I didn't pick up the lack of spots until you mentioned it - it was just a fab little red spot. But now - he looks a bit weird!

[Elisa Smith]

Lovely closeup. Are there spotless Lady bugs? Glad the air better today.

[Islandgirl]

Wow wonderful closeup!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

No, not a ladybug, definitely the Asian version- which although helpful the same way in the garden (they eat aphids) they will not go away. They find cracks in your wall and hibernate in your home for the winter. Come spring you'll find them swarming all over your windows! This happened in our former home 3 times before they finally moved on with the aid of bug spray- it was the only way we could get rid of them! (Believe me, I tried catch and release but there were WAY to many of them to do a hundred a so a day until they were gone.) However, all that being said, it's a great shot- especially the color of the bug against the vibrant green leaves.

[Paula Fontanini]

Outstanding capture in it's beauty & detail.

[Wylie]

Looks like they've washed off! nice 'spotting'!

[Bill Ososki]

Odd mutation, but a lady bug indeed

[Islandgirl]

So unusual!!

[Vesna]

With so much travel and climate change everything is possible.

[Anita W]

Beautiful capture of the tiny bug. Glad you have had some rain

[Pam]

@olivetreeann Goodness I hope I do not get them in my house. I do know they kill our native lady bugs. Really not good to have around.

[Bill Davidson]

A fascinating capture.

[Madeleine Pennock]

Super image exploiting the obvious complementary colours!
