Coccinella septempunctata

Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Coleoptera
Family: Coccinellidae
Genus: Coccinella
Species: C. septempunctata
Binomial name
Coccinella septempunctata
(Linnaeus, 1758)

Coccinella septempunctata, the seven-spot ladybird (or, in North America, seven-spotted ladybug or "C-7"[1]), 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 (from the Latin septem = "seven" and punctata = "spotted").
A larva of C. septempunctata

C. septempunctata has a broad ecological range, living almost anywhere there are aphids for it to eat. Both the adults and the larvae are voracious predators of aphids, and because of this, C. septempunctata has been repeatedly introduced to North America as a biological control agent to reduce aphid numbers, and is now established in North America, and has been subsequently designated the official State insect of six different states (Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee)

Hello Mariana!
Foarte fain ai prind buburuza!
Culorile excelente, focus-ul la fel!
Un pic de noise in fond, dar nu contraza, nu deranjaza prea mult.
Ti-am facut un WS, sper sa nu te deranjeze.
Salutari si numai bine!
Lili
