Ive heard that was a myth... often there is considerable variation in coloration within species and normally spotted species may have unspotted individuals or even all black ones :)
I've been seeing the 'imposters', which are the Asian Beetles which resemble Lady Bugs but are orange and actually bite (and stink to high heaven if they die).
I haven't seen a true Lady Bug yet this year. Gorgeous photo!!!
love your picture very much. Great macro shot. Not easy to capture one of these. The lady bird is so attractive in the picture. It's so bright and stand out in the green background.
Lovely picture Kerri (been away and catching up)- you may be interested in this: http://www.lostladybug.org reporting on found ladybugs and how some species are falling off.

Ladybugs are one bug I think that we all like. :-) I didn't realize they lost their spots as the age.
