Coccinella novemnotata là một loài bọ rùa bản địa của Bắc Mỹ.
It is the state insect của New York since 1989,[1] although the pink spotted ladybug was considered as a replacement in 2006, as the nine-spotted ladybug was thought extinct in the state.[2] In 2007 the nine-spotted ladybug was rediscovered in Virginia (the first East Coast sighting in 14 years), and the bill to replace it did not pass the State Senate, and so was not signed into law.[3]
Its numbers are thought to have been greatly reduced by the spread of the introduced Asian lady beetle in recent years.
