| description |
A pale, yellowish to white species with bold, distinctive red to black dots on the body; this color pattern is characteristic of this species, which resembles nothing else in our area. The number of dots can vary slightly among individuals, but there are typically around 8 or so main dots on the wings. There are also three bold dots on the thorax and head, in a line: one dot at the apex or lower part of the scutellum, the second on the middle of the pronotum, and the third dot on the tip of the head. Another dot can be on the side of the thorax, behind the base of each wing. The dots range in color from yellowish-orange, dark red, and black. Adults are around 3 mm long. |
