As I stepped from the shower the other night, I noticed something quite remarkable on the plastic covering the window. Two multi-colored Asian Lady Beetles had left their tracks in the condensed steam. It was a rare chance to see beetle tracks!
While the one was making a rather direct track, the other seemed a bit undecided about which way to go. A closer look revealed some strange markings.
What an odd set of prints!

Have you considered participating in the Lost Ladybug Project? A nice opportunity for citizen scientists. You can get info at http://treadwell.cce.cornell.edu/ladybeetles/. They are concerned about the decline of native ladybugs and are compiling information on exotics.
Cool pictures!
Carole — thanks for this great link. What a fun and educational site — we’re excited to start ‘hunting’!
