A common species, but this specimen is quite interesting.

The variable ladybug (as the name suggests) comes in a variety of forms, from spots, to blotches, to stripes. This specimen has four spots on its elytra, but has faded stripe markings also. A strange mixture of two separate forms the ladybug can come in.

Images of other forms, plus information on alleles responsible can be found in the following paper if interested: Houston, KJ, Hales, DF 1980, 'Allelic Frequencies and Inheritance of Colour Pattern in Coelophora Inaequalis (F.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)', Australian Journal of Zoology, vol. 28, no. 6, pp. 669-677

Hi all. Not feeling super well. To fill the void, here's another yin and yang concept I'm working on. I don't like the gap under the antennae, but haven't figured out what else I can do with it. 🤔
