Thank you, thank you, for both the ID and the tip about Kaufman Guides. I don't own that one so now it's on my Amazon or eBay wish list. I had a pic of a Twice Stabbed Lady Bug but it was too out of focus and not so thrilling to see. Who thinks up these common names for insects I have to wonder?
"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger
