Then, I was picking some Senna ligustrina to feed my caterpillars when I saw this thing. It looks like a very tiny, not quite spotted in the right way, ladybug. I left my thumb in the photo so you could see the size and also because my camera seems to focus on tiny things better that way.

Might be one in the Brachiacantha genus? I saw some pictures of Brachiacantha dentipes that looked like that, but there are several in that genus that are similar. Not one of the more common ladybugs for sure. Might be worth putting on BugGuide or iNaturalist. There is a lady beetle expert that frequents both sites.
