I have recently discovered a comparatively "big" ladybug which may be a mealybug (Paracoccus marginatus) predator, and I am having trouble identifying it. (Picture attached)
Based on the photo, I would consider records of the ladybug beetle genera Brachiacantha and/or Hyperaspis for your region. While it is heavily focused on North America, you can also use this site to find taxonomic characters and references: http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?guide=Ladybug
I am afraid the ladybird on the photo cannot belong to Brachiacantha or Hyperaspis genera. It can be a Coccinula or Synharmonia spp. but I am not sure. I have found a similar species but i think it is merely similar:
This is not realy a good place to post it to have experts on this. It is Cheilomenes sulphurea. (African - south of Sahara). Sorry for the late answer.
