Polka-dot ladybug

And another lifer among the mushrooms on Bailie Island. Not a mushroom, though.

A pair of mushrooms in dead leaves. But look at the stalk.

A small black and white beetle.
Zooming in still more. Looks like a ladybug.

I think it is a twenty-spotted ladybug, Psillobora vigintimaculata. I found a match on BugGuide, just across the border in Washington state. I'd never seen one before.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
