Twice-stabbed Lady Beetle


Chilocorus stigma, the twice-stabbed lady beetle, is a native resident of the United States and Canada but does not live west of the Sierra Nevada. It also lives in Oceania and has been introduced to Hawaii [1]. Its elytra are shiny black in color, and there is one red spot on each elytra. The remainder of the body is black as well, but the abdomen is either yellow or red in color.
