Asian Lady Beetle

While walking the dog i noticed an interesting bush, with these strange pods. When I pointed my camera I noticed this beetle. I identified it as an Asian Lady Beetle, which is classified as an invasive species, unlike the regular lady bug.

@smiler2012 that didn't come up,as a synonym, as I recall.

Just did another Google and, yes, another name is ladybird beetle.

@smiler2012 @samueltyler2 Except that ladybird beetles don't bite. Asian lady beetles do.

@LordShadowfire then, i guess they are different species, although i though they were listed as identical.

@samueltyler2 Red ones are the good guys. Orange and yellow ones are the bad guys.

@LordShadowfire the red ones, are ladybugs, the brown are lady beetles.

@samueltyler2 I'm just saying. Don't pick up a yellow ladybug.

@LordShadowfire okay, also don't squash it on something you don't want ruined. apparently, it leaves a nasty yellow stain
