@KimberiRP Hi Kim, Is this a lady beetle or a leaf beetle? Can't find a match so unsure to which catergory to add it.

Good question. I suggested lady beetle because of carapace colour pattern.

@LyndalT Yes I looked at leady beetles first but couldn't find a match, but there are some leaf beetles that are similar to lady beetles. Don't think it is Coccinella transversal.
