For obvious reasons this ladybird is called the Orange Ladybird. It is a common species of woodlands and both larvae and adults feed on mildew. The colour is a rather striking orange inded. Usually there are 16 creamy white spots. This species is common all over Europe, including most parts of the British Isles.

Size: about 6mm

The texture behind is also an interesting choice to note. A good macro, despite a litte sparkle.

Hola Marie,
Excelente macro que nos muestras con buena definición y muy cuidados detalles, de este pequeñísimo escarabajo, muy buena iluminación. Saludos

Hi Marie,
A lovely capture of this beautiful ladybird. Excellent details and composition. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Well Marie, a little while ago I've seen four of them in another post! But yours is as lovely as they were. Here again, the rough bark of the tree in the BG contrasts nicely with the smooth elythra of the ladybug, TFS my friend!

Ciao Marie,
complimenti per questa ottima foto e per l'impegno con cui contribuisci ad arricchire ogni giorno TN, con le tue immagini di minuscoli insetti, spesso trascurati dagli altri macrofotografi.
Aspetto da te tante altre foto interessanti e belle come questa :)
saluti,
Marcello
