    Yes, the time of year for nice sunny macros is there again. Though in the winter I made some prettry snaps of ice crystals. Have a look! Posted 13 years ago

The Seven-spotted Lady Beetle

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.
