The 7-spot ladybird, scientifically known as Coccinella septempunctata, is a native UK species that can be found in gardens across Norfolk. In September, these vibrant insects can often be spotted on ivy leaves, showcasing their distinctive seven black spots against their bright red wings. Although the 7-spot ladybird is a familiar sight in the UK, it's important to note that there are both native and invasive ladybird species present. From left to right: the Seven-Spot (Coccinella 7-punctata) stands out among its counterparts. As spring arrives and hibernation ends, you may come across a freshly emerged 7-spot ladybird covered in morning dew while perched delicately on a grass stem at dawn. These moments capture the beauty of nature's awakening after winter slumber. In May, love is in the air for these little creatures as they pair up and mate on Mayweed flowers. Their vibrant presence adds charm to our surroundings and reminds us of the wonders of life. Beyond Norfolk's borders lies Franconia in Bavaria, Germany where one can also find this enchanting insect. Whether resting on tendrils or posing against green backgrounds amidst flowers like Leucanthemum vulgare or Anthemis sp. , their striking appearance never fails to captivate observers. From Cyprus to Bavaria, this resilient species continues to thrive worldwide. Its adaptability allows it to flourish even outside its natural habitat. Whether you encounter them during mating season or admire them against picturesque backdrops abroad or closer home.
