Harmonia antipoda
Harmonia antipoda, known as the antipodean ladybird, is a species of ladybird beetle (family Coccinellidae) indigenous to New Zealand.[1] It occurs in forests on the North Island; they have been spotted on dead rimu (Dacrydium cupressinum) trees, both on the leaves and under bark.[1] They are a brown colour, and about 3 mm long.[1] Another (non-native) species of the same genus (Harmonia conformis) also occurs in New Zealand, but is much larger and more conspicuously coloured.
