偽瓢虫

Japanese

Compound of 天道虫 (テントウムシ) (tentō-mushi, “ladybird, ladybug”) + 騙 (だま)し (damashi, the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of 騙 (だま)す (damasu), "to deceive"). The kanji compound is jukujikun (熟字訓), borrowed from Chinese 偽瓢蟲, literally, "imitation ladybird". (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?)
