Seven-spot Ladybird
Coccinella septempunctata
The Seven-spot ladybird is considered one of the most prevalent ladybirds in Europe. Each wing case features three black spots, along with an additional spot present on both elytra behind the pronotum, leading to a total of seven spots. They are recognised for their predation on aphids. The adult individuals generally overwinter beneath rocks, within leaf litter, and beneath tree bark.
