This adult ladybug was photographed just as it emerged from its pupal stage. While it is yellow-colored with no spots now, as its elytra harden the red color and black spots will begin to emerge. Based the ID off the pattern on the pronotum. This photograph and observation were made by Ashley Fragomeni in the Nature Gardens at NHM.
