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").
C. septempunctata has a broad ecological range, living almost anywhere where 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).

Witaj Karen,
Bardzo dobrze Ci wyszło to zdjęcie Siedmiokropki...
Głębia ostrości -DOF- jest znakomita, POV ("punkt widzenia ") mógłby być mniej centralnie ustawiony ( w stosunku do odległości od ramki w poziomie) ale za to jest ciekawy. Kolory są czyste i naturalne, światło słoneczne odrobinę przepaliło gałązkę i zrobiło plamkę na pokrywach skrzydełek co jest utrapieniem większości fotoamatorów (ja go też mam;). Podoba mi się też notatka. Tak trzymaj!
Pozdrawiam
Alina
Hi Karen,
