What does a multicolored asian ladybeetle look like?
Harmonia axyridis is a typical coccinellid beetle in shape and structure, being domed and having a "smooth" transition between its elytra (wing coverings), pronotum, and head. It ranges from 6 - 9 mm in size. They always have reddish-brown legs and are obviously brown on the underside of the abdomen, even in the melanic colour forms. These beetles can be difficult to identify because of their variations in color, spot size, and spot count of the elytra.
