The multicolored Asian lady beetle is 1/3 inch in length; dome-shaped; yellowish-orange to red with variable black spots on the back. Deep orange is the most common color. This beetle typically has 19 black spots on its wing covers but these may be faint or missing. Some multicolored Asian lady beetles have no spots at all. There may be fewer spots present when they are faint. There is a prominent black 'M' shape behind the head in most specimens. This 'M' can look thick, thin or even broken in appearance. Also look for the big false "eyes"—two white football-shaped spots behind the head. Also look for their mustard yellow or red coloration.
