Image of thirteen-spotted lady beetle

Description:

Chronologically, this was the first of two individuals seen of this species today. Compare elytral and pronotal markings with this individual seen at the Visitor's Centre about 40 mins later: http://www.inaturalist.ca/observations/3713721 Although we have been sweep netting weekly at this location since 2013 in July and August with 10-50 volunteers, this is only my second record of the species at this location, a wet meadow adjacent to MacLaren Pond.
