When White Means Male - _TNY_4815
Here is a male of the rather smallish (and vegetarian!) species of ladybird known as the 22-spot ladybird (Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata) - or ladybug if you're in North America.
So how can we tall it is a guy so easily? Well, with these it is because of the white pronotum (the font carapace part).
Females instead have one that matches the rest of her outfit so she is yellow with black spots all over. Like this: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/29863108010/
