I come to know about the flower bout learns about the bug. ?
I’m glad it was helpful.
I have so far seen only the lady bug that is red with black spots. This one is rare. No matter how beautiful an insect might look if it destroys my garden out it goes (lol)
But I do not mind admiring it in a photo like yours for example (lo)
Although it looks a lot like a ladybug, they aren’t related. This species is an agricultural pest.
