         I don't know... yet. I just saw a pair of these for the first time
 today in the remnants of my broccoli. A little wider and flatter than a
 ladybug with a more pointed face.
         I had planned to search them out tonight but got lazy so I'll do it
 tomorrow and let you know (unless someone else already recognises them).
