These are not the normal looking lady bugs. Can you tell me are they good or bad?
They dont seem to be doing any damage. There are 6 of them on my butterfly weed.
Thanks,
chris

I think they're these Spotted Lady beetles, Coleomegilla maculata.

Definitely a great friend to gardeners

Here's their Bugfiles page. If that's what they are, maybe you'll want to upload the picture.
