| .... | ||
| Another arboreal species and usually easily found on the trunks of smooth-barked trees such as Ash, Sallow and occasionally Beech. It has only two red spots which are sometimes indented to give a characteristic kidney shape, but this feature is variable. About 4-5mm in length, it is more domed, rounded (when viewed from above) and females are only slightly larger than Pine Ladybird and Heather Ladybird. | ||
