22-Spot Ladybird
Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata
This tiny yellow ladybird with black spots lives on mildew-covered plants in meadows, gardens, hedgerows, and woodland edges. Adults feed mainly on powdery mildew fungi and often walk over leaves before flying short distances between low plants in warm weather. Hardened elytra protect the delicate wings, and a bitter yellow fluid can be released from the leg joints when handled.
