Spotted a spotted asparagus beetle on the asparagus

Very cute!  Red with dots.  Big green book says they don't do much damage at all, so, put back.

Spotted aparagus beetle found in asparagus patch next to compost bin.  Red/orange, with black spots, and two long black antennae.  This type of asparagus beetle apparently lays eggs near berries, so will have a look soon.
