Eyed Ladybird Anatis ocellata
View available larval and pupal stages
....
The Eyed Ladybird is the largest UK species (8mm) and is generally arboreal, especially favouring Scots Pine. The individual pictured is one of few records from the area and was discovered resting on Nettle near Eakring village. No doubt it is frequently overlooked. Both the number and colours of spots are variable.
