    This is the same ladybird as this one. The fly has not landed yet.
    Seven-spot ladybird with fly on back After repositioning my tripod I looked at the camera screen and saw to my surprise a little fly went sitting on the ladybird his back. Sometimes I can call myself lucky.<br /> <br /> Dutch name: Zevenstippelig lieveheersbeestje met swingvliegje? 7-spot Ladybird,Coccinella septempunctata,Geotagged,The Netherlands

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.
