| I went out to my rose garden and discovered several tiny lady bug - like beetles on my roses-specifically on the petals on drops of water. They are white with white underbellys, black legs and black spots. I've combed thrift the web and still can't figure out what they are. Can anyone help tell me what they are/if they are harmful to my roses and how to kill them if so? Thanks so much. |

If they looked like the photo linked below, they could be the 14-Spot Ladybird, which is a species of Lady Bug. Scroll down to the photos of it for more information. Kim |
