J20170125-0030—Hippodamia convergens—RPBG

            Hippodamia convergens—convergent lady beetle. Entomologists may prefer lady beetle to ladybug or ladybird but they are fighting a losing battle as long as the nursery rhyme is remembered.  The Regional Parks Botanic Garden is as much a zoo as it is a plant sancturary.  Birds, fish, lizards, newts,and, especially insects are to be found in every corner of the garden. These lady beetles are nesting in the California fescue at the spot where visitors enter the canyon path.  There are thousands of them.  Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA
