Calvia quatuordecimguttata - Damaged This heavily damaged Cream-spot volunteered to have a few close-ups taken. After the session it ran off and even (clumsily) flew a little, so I&#039;m confident it will still be part of what ladybirds do to make sure we can enjoy this species next year again...<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/114347/calvia_quatuordecimguttata_-_ventral_wing_out.html" title="Calvia quatuordecimguttata - Ventral (wing out)"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3043/114347_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=K5QvjXHyxRX2sfQf3mMQ9dL1a8g%3D" width="200" height="114" alt="Calvia quatuordecimguttata - Ventral (wing out) See with this image:<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/114348/calvia_quatuordecimguttata_-_damaged.html Calvia,Calvia quatuordecimguttata,Coccinellidae,Coccinellinae,Coleoptera,Cream-spot Ladybird,Cream-spot ladybird,Ladybird,nl: Roomvleklieveheersbeestje" /></a></figure><br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/114349/calvia_quatuordecimguttata_-_some_details.html" title="Calvia quatuordecimguttata - Some details"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3043/114349_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=W4dEgwYadSEd5ud6HUNtFG%2BxV7o%3D" width="200" height="114" alt="Calvia quatuordecimguttata - Some details See with this image:<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/114348/calvia_quatuordecimguttata_-_damaged.html Calvia,Calvia quatuordecimguttata,Coccinellidae,Coccinellinae,Coleoptera,Cream-spot Ladybird,Cream-spot ladybird,Ladybird,nl: Roomvleklieveheersbeestje" /></a></figure><br /> Calvia,Calvia quatuordecimguttata,Coccinellidae,Coccinellinae,Coleoptera,Cream-spot Ladybird,Cream-spot ladybird,Geotagged,Ladybird,Netherlands,nl: Roomvleklieveheersbeestje Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
