Asian lady beetle (Harmonia axyridis) on apple

Reveler Conservation Area

Not quite all insects have vanished with the onset of autumn. I found this lady beetle and several others on an apple tree, as well as a couple of clouded sulphur butterflies, a few autumn meadowhawk dragonflies, and several species of flies.

He is so lovely on his red apple - other years we had a lot of them around, this year I did not see a single one... Irene

Your image really shows how small the beetle is. The closeup was a great idea. V
