This little one (1/8", 3 mm) looks and moves like a Lady Beetle but is much smaller than your average LB. The photo was taken at digital macro x 2.6 so it is well magnified. I searched for gray Lady Beetle with two black spots and came up with a sort of beige color with black spots or all black. I looked at a lot of images but didn't see one like this so I wonder. This is the first year i have noticed this little beetle in the garden. I also notice small white specks that are new to me, easily removable (but can't be blown off) on the leaves of different plants and i wonder if the two somehow are related? Thank you bug gurus.
Ah good, a garden friend then. I like my photo better though because it shows the cute little yellow legs and yellow accent on the front end (or is it the hind end?) Gracias Flap!
