I know lady bugs are good for your garden as they eat all the other insects im pretty sure. So as long as you are sure its a lady bug I think its fine

That’s an odd looking lady bug, and I doubt we’re I live we have different lady bugs lol.. maybe try a google search of “insects that attract to cannabis”

Oh shit cool I did not know that, those look a lot nicer than the basic lady bugs I get.

Mahalo for all the replies...Ive already exhausted my googling skills ...thats why I came here haha. I have learned that there are quite a few varieties of lady bug, problem is, this guy doesn't look like any of 'em other than the similar body type. At any rate just to be safe I was gonna pick him off, but he flew away.
But keep the answers coming please, in case he comes back. Mahalo!

Maybe google stethorus punctillum? From the picture they look somewhat similar but it’s hard to tell. If so then you’re in very good luck because those things absolutely destroy spider mites
