Overview
"The Thirteen Spotted Lady Beetle (Hippodamia tredecimpunctata) is one of our most widespread lady beetles, and is probably the most common lady beetle in northern Ontario. It usually has thirteen spots, but sometimes the front spot fuses with two others to form a sort of backwards Y-shape."
