Welcome to NGA!

They don't look anything like the Asian lady beetles that were released in our area a few years back (which looked pretty much like our "normal" lady beetles, as far as I could tell). At any rate, I don't believe those "foreign" beetles caused any real problems with plants, they just tended to get indoors everywhere, in mass quantities, which most people didn't look on too kindly. At this point their numbers seem to have dwindled away.

I agree that if you could get a clearer photo, and let us know where you live, it would be very helpful. Smiling
