2020 Sydney: Yellow Ladybird

Ladybirds are also known as ladybugs or ladybeetles. The adults are oval domed in form and are TINY, ranging in length from 1 to 10mm, depending on the species.

 

There are over 100 species in Australia and the vast majority are beneficial.

The fungus eating ladybird has very bold black and yellow colouration. Both adults and larvae feed on mildew fungus, which is a really common problem in gardens.
