28-Spotted Ladybird Beetle
Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata
This small ladybird beetle inhabits gardens, crop fields, and disturbed vegetation where nightshade-family plants grow. Adults feed chiefly on leaves, creating irregular holes that can damage potato, tomato, and eggplant crops. The orange-brown wing covers bear twenty-eight dark spots and protect the folded flight wings beneath.
