7-spot Ladybird start problems

I found this ladybug in the water so I got him out and placed him on the flower to recover. Here he tries if his wings are ready to fly. Apperently not because later he ascended the flower 'on foot'.

This is the same beetle as in the Brush Beetle picture (because I was looking at the flower for this ladybug I also saw the brush beetle land on the flower later on).

  Indeed. I made the deal that I put him at a dry place and he would pose for me with his 'covers off' ;) Posted 13 years ago, modified 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.
