Nice photo!

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but this one looks more like an Asian Lady Beetle based on the color, spots, and head markings. I only recently learned the difference.

Hello friend :)

I saw what looked like a lady bug on my basil. Turns out it was not a lady bug and it ate bunch of holes in the leaves lol. It got sent to the compost bucket.
