help with insect id
hey everyone,
can someone help me ID an insect? The insect is a bettle, yellow color with black spots. I always thought it was a colorado potato bettle, but then I looked that up and it doesn't look anything like it. The spots are arranged like this: (- is the head) _ooo ooo below and offset about 1/2 a spot from the top spots are another row of 3 spots more or less on the sides of the bettle. bettle is approximately 8 mm in length (6 mm body, 2 mm head, antenna length ~7mm) and 3 mm in body width. carapace is not as round as a red ladybug. it's rather rectanglur. spots are not perfectly round either, having about the same proportions as the bettle's body. spots are a little over 1 mm in diameter. I've seen them in my garden, but this particular one was loitering around inside the house. Right now he's under a glass and depending on what you guys tell me, he'll either go smushy or get out of jail free. I thought someone posted an insect id site earlier, but I can't find it now. Thanks for any help, -- ST |
