Three-banded ladybeetle (Coccinella trifasciata )

This lady beetle can vary in colour and pattern, sometimes showing only one band, sometimes quite pale rather than that lady beetle red! Found near Pakenham.

Surprise pattern on this lady beetle, I have never seen banded one. Great catch.

I like her striped pattern so unlike what we normally think as a lady bug. Great macro. V.

So jewel like. So pretty with that luster on the shiny leaf
