Description: English: Spotted lady beetle,Coleomegilla maculata, a relatively common native species of lady beetle, sadly most of the most common lady beetles are not native these days. This one, interestingly, feeds an awful lot on pollen from flowers, and therefore I often catch it when collecting bees. This one was captured at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in the lovely marshes of Dorchester County Maryland.
