A Coccinellid Encounter at School

This morning when I was fertilizing the vegetable seedlings at the school garden, I bumped into a bizarre looking coccinellid crawling up and down the sunflowers. The coccinellid was a reddish-orange one about 2 mm long. The body shape was quite oval but, I could not tell the genus nor the species at all. Therefore, I caught it, put it in a small vial. I will bring it home for a further identification. Macro-sized pictures will be taken as soon as I get home.

Back again. The pictures have been taken. Take a look at the SCYMNINAE icon at the LOCAL SUBFAMILIES CATEGORY.
