Ashy Gray Lady Beetle

First time I've seen the grey form of this species.

Set up the black light again this night... Spotted a batrillion june bugs and micromoths... Observed a few other cool bugs too. I think this is still the Asian ladybug, but it was odd to see a completely white one (with black spots).

Convergent with Twice-stabbed Lady Beetle? I wonder if there is some cool evolution going on here.

I've struggled to find a match for this ladybug. It had a solid black abdomen and pronotum with two irregularly shaped spots and a white handlebar mustache. The closest match I can find for Texas is the black variation of the Ashy Gray Lady Beetle. Ashy Gray Lady Beetle, Olla v-nigrum, http://bugguide.net/node/view/8874 Also looks like this Cream-spotted Lady Beetle, but that does not appear to be a Texas species. http://bugguide.net/node/view/238302/bgpage
