Ladybirds, with their striking red colour and black dots, are a cheerful announcement of summer.
The seven dotted ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata) is a beetle of the family ladybirds (Coccinellidae). It is one of the best known beetles in western Europe due to its striking colors, its innocent and shy nature and general appearance. The seven dotted ladybird is sometimes seen as a bringer of happiness and is even a symbol against senseless violence.
As a larva and also as an adult insect, the beetle is a fierce hunter that mainly eats aphids and is therefore loved by horticulturists. The beetle is used worldwide as a biological pesticide in greenhouses and orchards to control aphids.
