| It took us
several years of searching to finally find this small
Ladybird, but we eventually found two adults by sweeping
one particular branch of Larch at Budby South Forest in
July 2010. We thought that Larch Ladybird may possibly be
more widespread in Pine plantations across
Nottinghamshire, but our own experience suggests not and
that it only prefers stands of Larch. It was some years
before we looked for this species again, but immediately
found eight adults by beating a low branch of Larch at
Haywood Oaks in May 2015. Length 4mm. |
