Spotted Pink Lady Beetle

Coleomegilla maculata, commonly known as the spotted lady beetle, pink spotted lady beetle or twelve-spotted lady beetle, is a large coccinellid beetle native across the Americas. The adults and larvae feed primarily on aphids and the species has been used as a biological control agent.
