| | | Is this a Pine ladybird? Found amongst pine trees. Pictures aren't that good because it wouldn't stay still. |

| | | Re: Is this a Pine ladybird? Hi Mike,
Not 100% but it does seem to match up with the Shining Fungus Beetle, Scaphidium quadrimaculatum - which is uncommon. It's from the Staphylinidae family if so.
The Pine Ladybird is much rounder, and shinier than this one. |
