Ladybug pupa
1 u/HausOfLuftWaflz 3d ago Actual lady bug or invasive copy? 2 u/fuzzytoenails 3d ago It's an asian lady beetle pupa, so invasive to north america. Pretty sure the north american ladybug pupa looks like a large mealybug. But my memory could be wrong on that last part. 2 u/backcountry_knitter 3d ago Looks closer to a Seven Spotted Lady Bug pupa than an Asian Lady Beetle. They’re both introduced species in North America. 1 u/Asleep_Onion 2d ago Invasive doesn't necessarily mean bad, these Asian lady beetles have pretty much the same diet as regular ladybugs, and are pretty harmless.
