Bug ID #840107

Asked July 11, 2023, 1:36 PM EDT

Found several of these in the garden. They seem to prefer my Marijuana plant over other vegis. Looked online for black and white beetles but never found this guy. Recognize him? Is it a good or bad bug?

Hi and thanks for your question and picture of your insect. It turns out to be a 20 spotted lady beetle which feeds on powdery mildew and is considered a "good guy".
