Harlequin Ladybird Harmonia axyridis
View available larval and pupal stages
....
This Harlequin Ladybird (Harmonia axyridis) represents the first Nottinghamshire record. After predicting it's likely appearance in the county back in 2005, we spent many hours casually searching and hoping, eventually being surprised by finding Nottinghamshire's first on Penny Pasture Common, Eakring Meadows on 29/07/06. This is a large species and markings vary considerably, with several common colour forms although real aberrant adults away from known colour forms are rare.
