Twenty-four Spot Ladybird

Subcoccinella vigintiquattuorpunctata

A small ladybird, measuring approximately 3 to 4 mm in length, with orange-red colouration. Its elytra appear dusty because they are covered in hairs. The number of black spots can vary, and the legs are orange. This ladybird is typically found on grass, thistle, nettle, mugwort, knapweed, and other low-growing vegetation. It feeds on fungal moulds.
