Seven-spot ladybird in high grass

When I saw Ferdy his 'summer feelings' photo I had to think about this summer scene.

  1. Ferdy his summer feelings photo:
    Summer 2013 The Netherlands has seen some horrible weather this year where the winter seemed to never end and even swallowed up spring. This photo is a symbol of summer finally arriving. Which is great, because I'm typically a good weather photographer :) Heesch,Macro

Coccinella septempunctata is the most common ladybird in Europe. Its elytra are of a red colour, but punctuated with three black spots each, with one further spot being spread over the junction of the two, making a total of seven spots, from which the species derives both its common and scientific names.
