The eggs have hatched two to three days later and here it is later in the afternoon.
This little creature is thought to be an Asian Multicolored Lady Beetle, not to be
confused with our native Lady Bug. Although both are known to eat their
fair share of Aphids so there is no reason to mess with their existence.
I hope these little guys find the Aphids because who ever was the strategist that
laid these eggs missed their mark big time. The majority of Aphids are across the
yard doing their number on the Podacarpus hedge, this time of the year. Not to mention
the opportunist Aphids trying to catch hold where my potted Eggplant resides, relatively
speaking must be like on the other side of the world to where these guy were born
into existence.
The folks at http://www.whatsthatbug.com have been very helpful in identifying
said bug.
