Namitentoumushi



Harmonia axyridis spectabilis.

JARED: This ladybug is called a namitentoumushi. It was by our house. It's different than normal ladybugs because it's black with red spots, not red with black spots. Ladybugs are good because they eat bugs that harm plants. So they are good for gardens, but they pee on you when you bother them. I rate it 3 insect legs out of 6.

EVERETT: It's a black tentoumushi (ladybug). I like it when they fly away. Sawatara, tonde ikun yo. (If you touch them, they'll fly away!) I like it!

I love lady bugs! Used to get so excited when I saw them as a little girl. I've never seen a black one with red spots before. Haven't held one in my hands in years! Thanks for sharing guys.
