the podcast arthropod has a great new episode out about the multicolored asian lady beetle:

If you need to keep this insect out of your home, you'll find this episode especially useful (although I confess control is usually the aspect I find least interesting. )

Ladybug, acrylic on birch panel, 6"x6".

Flourescent colours mixed in with the highlights, so it really pops in the light when viewed in person. Screens have trouble reproducing the real look of this.
