Artist's notes:
 This
was the first beetle I drew. I've always been a fan of these
guys and especially of ladybugs. This was also the smallest
subject I had ever drawn, and in fact I actually went out
into the backyard and looked for one for reference (something
that's harder to do when I'm drawing a large African predator)
but the North American ones don't seem to have the same
amount of white in the front of the shell as Harmonia axyridis
does - which is the Japanese or Asian Ladybug.

Information about the Ladybug Beetle:
The Asian Ladybug is a coccinellid beetle
native to east Asia but it has been widely introduced in
Europe and Asia to help control aphids and other pests.
But it is now very common in those areas and is considered
an invasive species. The species can often be difficult
to identify because of the large variation in the color
and pattern of the shell.
