Since Seed of the Week was delayed, I’m putting up bug of the week today, too.
Which of these two beetles are lady beetles (also called lady bugs)?
Any guesses?
Edit: The answer is now up.

You can count on seeing certain insects year after year.
An example is the insect that caused the webbing on this Texas Mountain Laurel. Can you spot it?
Here’s a closer view. This photo has two insects in it.
This is the genista caterpillar. Once it completes the pupal stage, it will turn into a small brown moth (Family Pyralidae).
How do you think the moth finds the Texas Mountain Laurel plant?
Spring is here!
