Twenty-spotted Lady Beetle
Psyllobora vigintimaculata
Adults inhabit hedgerows, woodland margins, gardens, and other vegetation with powdery mildew on leaves. They walk over foliage and fly between plants while feeding chiefly on mildew fungi. Their pale wing cases carry numerous dark spots, providing the source of their common name. When disturbed, an adult may release defensive fluid from its leg joints.
