Yo is this a lady bug? Sure is munching on my leaves

Looks like one to me! They don’t eat the plants though, they just eat the bugs. Maybe you have a hybrid? :v:

Pretty sure it’s a Japanese ladybug from looking around online. Unlike regular lady bugs they hibernate through winter. Introduced here to eat aphids maybe she wasn’t the one eating my leaves

There are some bugs that look very similar to lady bugs that will eat your plants. I executed one of the bastards last week, he was munching on a leaf of a seedling I have going. I know, because I first thought it was a lady bug, but could see the leaf shrinking as the little jerk was munching. I put him in my light hood. Should have been a bright few last minutes

Probably what I got as they’re munching everything.

Are they a really pale orange, like a very dark yellow? This one was


Looked it up said Japanese lady beetle. Eats aphids. I guess by accident while they eat everything on the leaf including the leaf. Annnnd they hibernate so they probably be back in spring

Found this bug in an old gardening book I was reading. It’s the Mexican bean beetle and es muy mal. Eats leaves til it looks like lace. The weird yellow glob monster was the beetle in a early stage. Looks like a ladybug but it’s not
