Coccinella Septempunctata: Species of beetle
The seven-spot ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata) is a colourful beetle.
It has red back (wing cases) with seven black spots, black and white head, legs and stomach. As an adult it is 5-8 mm long.
Coccinella septempunctata is the most common lady beetle in Europe. Because it eats harmful insects, people have imported it to North America.
Ladybirds are members of the family Coccinellidae, which is in the infraorder Cucujiformia.
