Fourteen-spotted lady beetle(<em>Propylaea quatuordecimpunctata</em>)

Fourteen-spotted lady beetle(Propylaea quatuordecimpunctata)

This afternoon was interesting in terms of variety. I found a green lacewing in the Old field, unfortunately unable to get a photo of this pretty, ethereal Neuroptera. Posted yesterday on the blog, were photos of those funny little Publilia treehoppers that I like so much. The ones that are carefully tended by ants. The ants remind me of cowboys tending their herd! This non-native 14-spotted lady beetle was also found.
