Yet another 2 photographs of a spotless yellow ladybird at our "Ginger" plant... Taken on 26th February 2012...

It was quite a challenge trying to take a snippet of it close-up becox the location it was at was almost out of reach. The spotless yellow ladybird was camera-shy & was crawling towards a hiding place where it could not be easily seen...

Postscript:  My plants are definitely in a bad shape as you could see from the spotty appearance of the leaves featured in these photographs.  They were down on fungal infection which is why I guess it attracted these yellow ladybirds.  However, I've difficulties obtaining an effective fungicide from the nurseries here in Singapore.
