Olla v-nigrum is a species in the family Coccinellidae ("lady beetles"), in the suborder Polyphaga.[1][2] The species is known generally as the ashy gray lady beetle.[3] The distribution range of Olla v-nigrum includes Central America, North America, and Oceania.[2] It is usually gray or pale tan with small black spots on its elytra and thorax. However, a variation can resemble Chilocorus orbus. This form is black with two red spots on the wing covers and has white on the edge of the prothorax.[4]
