Chilocorus orbus

Chilocorus orbus is a species of lady beetle in the family Coccinellidae.

The adult Chilocorus orbus is a dome-shaped beetle some 3 to 5 mm (0.12 to 0.20 in) long with club-shaped antennae.

The shiny black elytra bear two oval red patches and the ventral surface of the beetle is reddish.

There are other species of black-with-red-spots lady beetle with which this insect might be confused, these being Axion plagiatum, Chilocorus kuwanae, and Olla v-nigrum, however in Chilocorus orbus, the red patches are nearer the head than they are in the other species.

The larvae resemble miniature alligators, have long legs and are grey or blackish; they have elongated bodies covered with branching spines.
