Overview
"The Fifteen-spotted Lady Beetle (A. labiculata) has black spots without yellow rings. Unlike most lady beetles, which remain the same colour throughout their adult lives, Fifteen-spotted Lady Beetles darken with age, and in older individuals the 15 spots are hard to differentiate from the dark, purplish background colour."
