I spent part of the morning hanging over a chain link fence separating my neighbor's flowers from my yard. These ladybugs were part of the benefit for doing that.

Dennis, this is a very well-taken series. You found a multicolored Asian Lady Beetle (Harmonia axyridis). They were originally introduced in North America to control aphids and they have successfully become an invasive species.

Excellent set Dennis, we call them Ladybirds. 
Thank you Sylvia.
I know my UHH mentor, Douglass Moody, called them ladybirds too as I recall.
