That is not a lady bug or an asian beetle. That looks nothing like a lady bug. Next time search Lady Bug and click images on google, cause thats not even close . Maybe i could hook you up with my 3 year old nieces email you can run the rest of you questions past her before you waste my bandwidth again.

No idea,but it looks too oblong for a ladybug would have to see it face on to judge if it is ladybird family but just eyeballing it in that pic it looks like a plant eater.

What are you bitching about? It's not your server, and no one told you to click the link OR post.

That's not a ladybug (as already determined by others here), obviously some kind of beetle, it almost looks PhotoShopped to me. I don't know of any kind of online bug ID where you can just look at pictures to see if you can figure out what it is.

Edit: COOL site, Pookie! :D How about one for wasps? During summer we get some interesting little bugs I'm not at all familiar with. And here in Micronesia I've seen these wasps OHMYGOD THEY'RE HUGE! EASILY, and I mean easily an inch and a half long and almost as thick as my pinky finger. First one scared me so bad I almost faerted. :lol:

I think what you got here is an Asian Lady Beetle. Some parts of America are experiencing an epidemic the past few years. Between the late 1910’s and the mid-1970's, there were several planned and accidental introductions to the U.S., with no survival. Many planned releases across the eastern U.S. in the late 1970's and early 1980's were attempts to use the beetles to help control aphids and scales. After years without a sighting, the beetle was seen in Louisiana in 1988. Whether this final, successful colonization was due to a planned release or an accidental introduction is under debate.
