View available larval and pupal stages
...
The most abundant UK species and very common in the Eakring area. It is one of the largest of our native Ladybirds, measuring some 6-8mms long and most often found openly on low-growing plants. An almost spotless 7-spot variant shown below, was found on Warsop Main Pit Top in late March 2008, the only variant we have found after checking literally thousands of 7-spot Ladybirds over the years.
