Is there a beetle that looks like ladybug beetles but is not? I am
having an
exploding population of these beetles which I thought were ladybug but
I do not think they are. Reasons: I do not think there are that many
aphid
population for the number of ladybug. I am guessing there is a beetle
that looks like a ladybug and explodes in population every now and then.

Archimedes,

The Southern corn rootworm beetle, also known as the Spotted cucumber
beetle, (Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi) resembles a ladybug.

The Mexican bean beetle (Epilachna varivestus Mulsant) also resembles
a ladybug.
